Description:This 5th volume in The Centers of Civilization Series aims to account historically for the flowering which occurred in the Augustan Age; to describe the city in its physical & cultural development as it reached its peak & to make the rediscovery of ancient Rome an easier process for those who wander the ruins which remain. Rome was the center of many forms of human achievement, the total of which we call Roman civilization. Many of these came into being & were developed in the city itself. Others were adopted & modified in accordance with Roman needs & the Roman spirit. As Rome expanded her political hegemony over the Mediterranean world, she brought with her certain fundamental elements of her culture, on which the European civilization of today rests. The author sets forth succinctly the reasons for the particular stamp which Rome gave her creations & borrowings, & how the city itself played its great role as a fountainhead of culture. He deals with Rome's great achievements in law, art, architecture, literature & administration. As these aspects of Roman achievement appear, the life of the people, the appearance of Roman society & the physical development of the city are kept before the reader.
