«History of Rome» is the historical essay by Michael Grant, published by Charles Scribner's Sons in hardback (537 pages, in English).
A journey through the history of Rome, from its origins as an Iron Age settlement on the Tiber to becoming the centre of an empire that dominated the West. Michael Grant describes the figures and events of its political and cultural power, and the causes of its decline and fall.
The edition includes an index and bibliography (pp. 511-515) and was printed in the United States in 1978.
For readers interested in the history of Rome, the Roman Empire and classical antiquity.
Michael Grant was an English classicist, Professor of Humanity at the University of Edinburgh, numismatist, and author of numerous books on ancient history. His 1956 translation of Tacitus's Annals of Imperial Rome remains a standard of the work. Having studied and held a number of academic posts in the United Kingdom and the Middle East, he retired early to write full-time. He once described himself as "one of the very few freelancers in the field of ancient history: a rare phenomenon". As a populariser, his hallmarks were his prolific output and his unwillingness to oversimplify or talk down to his readership. He published over 70 works.
