Nowhere else do we have such a continuous picture of how a city evolved - and how its people lived - across two and a half thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn The Shortest History of Rome, Matthew Kneale explores how a group of hill settlements grew to become the capital of the ancient world and then reinvented itself as the spiritual capital of Christendom, before enduring the tumult of the twentieth century. No city has been reborn so many times. Sacked by Visigoths, rebuilt by popes, occupied by Napoleon, and eventually the capital of a unified Italy - Rome has outlasted every force that sought to define or destroy it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVeering from the heroic to the tragicomic, Rome's history illuminates the history of humanity itself. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dear Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67692535382292,"sku":"9781760645977","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6460\/0596\/files\/9781760645977_1.jpg?v=1792045027","url":"https:\/\/dearvillage.com.au\/products\/shortest-history-of-rome","provider":"Dear Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
