This engaging history brings together the interwoven stories of the original Goths, who sacked the imperial city of Rome and set in motion the decline and fall of the western Roman empire, and the diverse Gothic legacy, a legacy that continues to shape our modern world.

Here, David Gwynn reflects on the remarkable legacy of the Roman Republic. The rise and fall of the Republic holds a special place in the history of Western civilization; it has been presented as a model, a source of inspiration, but also a warning. Placing the events in their wider context, he provides a fascinating history of culture and society.
