"The Grandeur That Was Rome: A Survey of Roman Culture and Civilisation" by J.C. Stobart, is a historical exploration that looks at the impact of Roman civilization and its contributions to Western society. Stobart seeks to provide a rounded view of Roman history, arguing against the common view that focuses too much on the Roman Republic, rather than the innovations of the Empire. The book begins by inviting the reader to reconsider Rome's story, showing how the Empire's growth shaped political systems and cultural ideas that continue to influence Europe today. Instead of recounting straightforward historical facts, Stobart encourages readers to appreciate the difficulties and achievements of this time.
