At its height, it had the world’s greatest army, rulers, and language, influencing much of the known world.

Book excerpt: This book presents the legislation that formed the basis of Roman law - The Laws of the Twelve Tables. These laws, formally promulgated in 449 BC, consolidated earlier traditions and established enduring rights and duties of Roman citizens. The Tables were created in response to agitation by the plebeian class, who had previously been excluded from the higher benefits of the Republic. Despite previously being unwritten and exclusively interpreted by upper-class priests, the Tables became highly regarded and formed the basis of Roman law for a thousand years. This comprehensive sequence of definitions of private rights and procedures, although highly specific and diverse, provided a foundation for the enduring legal system of the Roman Empire.

Considered in the context of their other famous construction triumphs—such as the Colosseum and Hadrian’s Wall—the Roman roads are just a small piece of their technological stamp on the world. Readers will be fascinated by the many modern innovations the Romans had a hand in developing, including running toilets and the 365-day calendar. As each section focuses on a new topic, such as the Romans’ farming technology, sidebars add fun facts and detail to flesh out knowledge readers encounter in the classroom. Present-day photographs of artifacts and existing structures enhance the main historical content while a timeline concisely summarizes the major events of ancient Rome. Readers will be immersed in ancient Roman culture—and want to know even more!
