Эта книга может дать немало интересных сведений желающим больше узнать о римской цивилизации – её культуре и повседневной жизни римлян. Археологические открытия постоянно вносят поправки в учебники истории, и такая, казалось бы, изученная тема, как история Рима, не является исключением. Так, находка в 2004 году вблизи Оксфорда 5000 монет императора Домициана подтвердила его существование, прежде подвергавшееся сомнению, так как единственная монета с его портретом, сто лет назад была признана фальшивкой. В книге рассказывается о жизни римлян начиная с основания Рима ок. 753 г. до н.э., через период правления этрусских царей, зарождение и падение Римской республики, имперский период и до падения Империи и коронации варварского короля Одоакра.Образцы сканов:

Example text

The Mediterranean region is closely associated with an ecosystem known as Mediterranean Woodland. Evergreen shrubs and very small trees typify the Mediterranean Woodland. The trees can survive the intense heat of the Mediterranean summer because of their hard leaves, called sclerophyll. In droughtlike conditions, these leaves resist drying out by closing the pores that allow evaporation. When rainfall occurs again, the pores reopen. The flora of the Mediterranean is also well adapted to the effects of fire.

Although outdated, this book is an unbelievable bargain, and for the most part, it is still useful for quick reference. An extremely useful German-language reference tool is Paulys Realencyclopaedie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft. An English-language edition is currently in preparation (only the first volume is available), titled Brill’s New Pauly Encyclopedia of the Ancient World. For the study of Roman religion, Adkins and Adkins’ Dictionary of Roman Religion (1996) is useful and available at most bookstores.

Although Europe has a predominantly northern climate, the warm seas that surround the continent create much more moderate temperatures. Before human activity cleared it away, Europe was covered in woodland vegetation. Most of Europe was dominated by coniferous and deciduous flora, with tundra vegetation present in the highest elevations and in most northern locations. The areas of North Africa that fell under the Roman sphere of influence were mostly regions with a Mediterranean climate. Beyond this fruitful zone, North Africa consists of desert zones with sparse populations.
