Cloth. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. Hardcover First Edition. Hardcover First Edition The Reach of Rome: History of the Frontier of the Roman Empire (History and Politics The Roman Empire was one of the most powerful forces in history. However, few people realize that this vast empire was guarded by one frontier, a series of natural and man-made barriers, including Hadrian's Wall. It is impossible to have a true understanding of the Roman Empire without first investigating the scope of this amazing frontier. The boundary ran for roughly 4,000 miles--from Britain to Morocco via the Rhine, the Danube, the Euphrates, the Syrian Desert, and the Saharan fringes; reinforced by walls, ditches, palisades, watchtowers, and forts. It absorbed virtually the whole imperial army, enclosed three and a half million square miles, and defended forty provinces (now thirty countries) and perhaps eighty million Roman subjects. In protecting the empire the frontier made a substantial contribution to the Pax Romana and ultimately to preserving the inheritance of future Europe. Yet this static mode of defense ran counter to Rome's tradition of mobile warfare and her taste for glory, born of centuries of conquest. The emperors' choice of a passive strategy promoted lassitude and conservatism, allowing the military initiative slowly to pass into barbarian hands. The Reach of Rome is the first book to describe the entire length of the amazing imperial frontier. It traces the political forces that created it and portrays those who commanded and manned it, as well as those against whom it was held. It relates the frontier's rise, pre-eminence, crises, and collapse and assesses its meaning for history and its legacies to the post-Roman world. Finally, it also tells the story of the explorers who rediscovered its lost works and describes the nature and location of the surviving remains. Includes thirty beautifully designed maps.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Hardback. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. First Edition. THE REACH OF ROME A History of the Roman Imperial Frontier 1st -5th Centuries AD Derek Williams. Constable Publishing, London 1996 First edition ISBN 0094765405 342pp Illustrated Hardback This copy is in FINE condition in a FINE unclipped dustwrapper. A racy chatty narrative of the historical events built around the frontiers from Augustus to the fifth century, laced with sharp scenes of local topography and spiced with vignettes of eminent archaeologists. This book bulges with fascinatiing information about the frontiers of Rome, and why ultimately the defences were of little use. Bringing together all aspects of fortification design, foreign policy, and changing strategies to deal with a changing world, the book serves as an object lesson of just why the (western) Roman Empire fell.
