Summary:

Professor Madden correlates the principles of Roman conduct -- both governmental and military -- that would forever change the world.

People with personages of great distinction and even greater ambition, at once notable for humanity's great promise and flawed nature, the Roman Empire contributed many of history's proudest advancements.
