English Summary/英文概要： Veni, Vidi, Vici is a finely detailed and richly informative history of the Roman Empire, which takes the reader from the foundation of Rome to the demise of the Republic, and from the age of Augustus to the barbarian invasions. Along the way we are introduced to many curiosities, such as the Seven Hills on which Rome was built, the war elephants of the Carthaginian commander Hannibal, the ingredients of the popular fish sauce known as garum and the workings of the Roman toilet.Fusing rigorous research with entertaining and crisply informative writing, Veni, Vidi, Vici is an invigorating work of popular scholarship that breaks down each major period into a series of concise nuggets, thereby enabling the reader to explore ancient Rome with ease. Through the twists, forks and ever-changing landscapes of his 1250-year itinerary, Peter Jones is a friendly and clear-thinking guide. In this book he has produced the most beguiling and authoritative of introductions to Roman history and to the deep roots of European civilization.
