Book synopsis

Rome stands out from other cities: those that have given their name to a civilization — particularly one this influential and fruitful — are few and far between. Yet Roman civilization remains difficult to decipher. It yields few of its secrets, and dazzles those who believe they understand it and who mistake it for a mirror in which they can glimpse a reflection of their own origins. Yet, even when its sheath is pierced, Rome’s mystery only deepens. Nonetheless, Europe was forged in the cradle of the Latin world and has been nourished from its infancy by the milk of Roman humanism. Rome projected a unique and extraordinary vision of human beings, an exemplary attempt to consider the latter in their inherent dignity — long ago providing us with the resources to aspire to Human Rights. It enlightened the citizens of its empire with a belief in freedom and managed the feat of ensuring a reign of peace that would last for centuries throughout an immense territory. We are the upholders of that legacy.
