What is Roman Power : A Thousand Years of Empire about?
The Roman Empire Was One Of The Largest And Most Enduring In World History. In His New Book, Distinguished Historian William V. Harris Sets Out To Explain, Within An Eclectic Theoretical Framework, The Waxing And Eventual Waning Of Roman Imperial Power, Together With The Roman Community's Internal Power Structures (political Power, Social Power, Gender Power And Economic Power).
