Roma victa : Errores, derrotas y delirios de un imperio que ha marcado nuestra historia

The best-kept secrets of the Eternal City are not all about triumph: even the greatest empire in history has fatal weaknesses. "Roma victa" offers a fresh, compelling, and rigorous, yet profoundly human, look at all that Rome was but sometimes tried to forget. Rome was not invincible: it was resilient. It was not perfect: it was human. And every scar built it more than all its victories. Iban Martín crafts a fascinating story that plunges us into a true descent into hell: from military defeats to corruption, from political humiliation to imperial delusion, this book is both a chronicle of events and a critique of the official narrative. Rome was also this: glory and failure, pride and infamy. Far from diminishing its legacy, this work makes it grander, more dazzling, and more essential.
