For much of its thousand year history, Rome was an invincible power protected by the most formidable army of the ancient world. To attack Rome, or even to resist its irrepressible advances, was to invite annihilation - and yet, throughout its history, there were those who tried. Some are famous, like Hannibal, Spartacus and Attila, while the names of others are all but forgotten. This comprehensive history describes how Rome appeared to its enemies, how a handful of leaders successfully held the empire at bay, and the terrible fate that awaited those who fought Rome and failed. Resisting Rome covers the entire history of Rome from its early days as a republic to the final collapse of the empire in the sixth century AD. All of Rome's major enemies are covered, from the Greeks and Persians in the east to the Goths, Gauls and Britons in the north and west. Each chapter concentrates on a single leader, using a key episode in their campaign both to tell the larger story and to analyse specific themes. Comprehensive in scope and gripping in detail, this will prove to be the definitive work on the leaders and peoples who dared to defy the might of Rome.
