In 390 BC, Rome was a burned city of thirty thousand people, seriously debating whether to abandon the site. In 264 BC, Rome commanded all of Italy and was putting an army on ships for Sicily. Almost nobody can tell you what happened in between. The 126 years between those two scenes are the least-known and most consequential stretch of Roman history. You already carry fragments of it: the Appian Way, marching under the yoke, war elephants in Italy, the phrase “Pyrrhic victory.” All four come from this century, and almost nobody can place them in a story — because the story is rarely ...

In the marble heart of Rome, the Senate argues over treaties and tribute. Across the Danube, King Decebalus re-arms and fortifies, daring the empire to pay again for peace. Emperor Trajan chooses a different answer: total war—and a bridge that will carry Rome into the mountains. Legate Marcus Aelius Severus is given command of the Thirteenth Legion and a mandate that allows no retreat. At his side marches Tiberius Claudius Crispus, a young patrician tribune hungry for glory and unprepared for what glory costs. And in the ranks, Primus Pilus Rufus keeps the legion alive the only way he ...

In 200 BC the Roman assembly was asked to vote for a war in Greece — and voted no. The Senate made them vote again. Sixty-seven years later, Rome had destroyed the kingdom of Macedon, humbled the largest empire on earth, burned Corinth and Carthage in the same summer, and stopped taxing its own citizens because the provinces paid for everything. A Roman envoy could draw a circle in the dirt around the most powerful king alive and make him answer before he stepped out of it. There was no Roman army within a thousand kilometres. There did not need to be. This is the story of the conquest ...
