Caesar and Christ: A History of Roman Civilization and of Christianity from Their Beginnings to A.D. 325

In this epic survey of a thousand years of roman history, you will discover:

the birth of the world's first true republic
the world-conquering Roman army---undefeated, unafraid and vegetarian
Hannibal, Rome's brilliant African arch-enemy, who transported his army of elephants over the Alps from Spain in an attempt to invade Rome by surprise
Julius Caesar---who brought Western Europe under Roman rule, defeated his rival Pompey in a civil war, took over the government, conquered Egypt, and forgave his enemies, only to be assassinated by his friends
the Roman Emperors, from the murderous madman Caligula to the philosophical sage Marcus Aurelius.
the agony of Roman-occupied Judea and the advent of Jesus of Nazareth
the exhaustion of Rome, the bringer of order, taxes, war, class conflict, and plague; the corrosion of its values and faith, and its surrender to invaders from the North
the struggle of the rising church, and Christianity's conquest of the empire from within.
