di Brianna Lewis (Autore)

epubli, 2025

Long before legions thundered across continents, Rome was nothing more than a cluster of huts on a muddy riverbank. From Marshland to Empire offers teachers an informative, classroom-ready exploration of how this unassuming settlement transformed into one of the most powerful civilizations in history. Structured for clarity and teaching versatility, the narrative walks readers through the city's legendary origins, its early struggles for survival, and the political innovations that set it apart from neighboring cultures. Students will encounter the rise of the Republic, the formation of its legal institutions, the strategic diplomacy behind alliances, and the disciplined military ethos that enabled Rome to conquer Italy and beyond. Drawing from archaeology, classical texts, and modern scholarship, the book highlights how geography, cultural diversity, and societal adaptability contributed to Rome's explosive growth. It explains key developments—citizen-soldier identity, the Senate's shifting influence, infrastructure breakthroughs, and the expanding economy—using accessible language suited for guided learning. Designed as a reliable educational tool, this account brings the thrilling rise of ancient Rome to life while giving teachers the clear, factual framework they need to spark discussion and deeper understanding.
