Desde las llanuras barridas por el viento de Anshan hasta los palacios escalonados de Persépolis, Fundando un Imperio relata cómo un conjunto de ambiciones reales se convirtió en el superestado más sofisticado del mundo antiguo. Comenzando con las audaces conquistas de Ciro el Grande y su política radical de legitimidad —liberación, autonomía local y clemencia mesurada—, la narrativa avanza por la campaña egipcia de Cambises II en los límites del mundo conocido y se adentra en la turbulencia sucesoria que casi fracturó el joven imperio.

Story0
In Die Germania liefert Publius Cornelius Tacitus ein einzigartiges ethnografisches Porträt der germanischen Stämme. Der römische Historiker beschreibt Bräuche, Gesellschaftsstrukturen und Charaktereigenschaften – teils bewundernd, teils kritisch. Tacitus' Darstellung ist geprägt von Staunen, Klischees und politischem Kalkül – aber auch von echtem Interesse an einer Kultur, die dem römischen Imperium fremd, rau und faszinierend erschien.

Story0
Immaginate di partire assieme a Giulio Cesare e alle sue legioni. È il 58 a.C., la Gallia è una terra lontana, abitata da popolazioni bellicose, mai domate, che hanno già inflitto dolorose sconfitte ai Romani. Ma è anche una terra ricca e prospera. Giulio Cesare vuole conquistarla, per sé e per Roma, e per farlo è disposto ad affrontare ogni avversità: estenuanti marce nella neve e battaglie sanguinose, intrighi di palazzo e tradimenti, ponti da costruire e flotte da creare da zero, foreste che si dicono stregate e santuari con scheletri decapitati.

Story0
Discourses on Livy, written in 1531, is as essential to understanding Machiavelli as his famous treatise, The Prince. Equally controversial, it reveals his fundamental preference for a republican state. Comparing the practice of the ancient Romans with that of his contemporaries provided Machiavelli with a consistent point of view in all his works. Machiavelli's close analysis of Livy's history of Rome led him to advance his most original and outspoken view of politics--the belief that a healthy political body was characterized by social friction and conflict rather than by rigid stability.

Story0
For six hundred years, the city of Carthage dominated the western Mediterranean. Founded in the ninth century BCE as a small colonial outpost, by the third, it had grown into the area's largest, richest empire. When, inevitably, it clashed with Rome for supremacy over the region, the conflict spanned over one century, three wars, and forty-three years of active fighting. After Carthage fell, the city was razed, and the tale of its defeat became a mere foundation stone in Rome's legend.
