Dans ce second et dernier volume dedie a l’histoire romaine, l’immense Isaac Asimov emmene ses lecteurs a travers les cinq siecles durant lesquels Rome assura son hegemonie sur le monde occidental, apportant la paix a une centaine de millions de personnes, tout en developpant deux des plus consequents heritages de l’Antiquite : le droit et le christianisme.
L’Empire romain eut l’heur de rester fort et intact pendant quatre siecles. Suffisamment longtemps pour fixer la culture romaine si solidement dans toute l’Europe que meme les desastres qui suivirent ne purent l’aneantir. Nous-memes vivons encore avec l’heritage de cette culture. ISAAC ASIMOV

"Asimov ne se contente pas d'egrener les portraits, il s'interesse aussi, sans nuire au plaisir de lire, a Fevolution de la culture, de la science ou des moeurs durant ce long regne de Rome. Ce qui ne gache rien, l'editeur a particulierement soigne les illustrations de ce livre d'ete qui ne ressemble a aucun autre.Dans un style toujours aussi agreable, le celebre auteur de science fiction se mue en un rigoureux historien."
