In the real volume of the "Cambridge history of the ancient world, one of the most striking and dramatic periods of the history of ancient Rome is considered from the murder of Julia Caesar to the coming to the power of Emperor Vespasian. In these decades, familiar republican institutions collapsed, great Rome drowned in civil wars for a year after year. And at the same time, under the rule, perhaps the most famous, brightest and most controversial dynasty - Yuliev -Klawdiev, a new Roman empire was built on the ruins of the former power. In this volume, step by step can there be a long and difficult path from the young avenger to the murderers of his father to the emperor: August, the founder of the new state structure and ruler of the huge and prosperous empire, is told how to replace Caligula, one of the most odious Emperors, Claudius came, the one that Augustus considered unsuitable even for the usual political career of a member of the imperial house. The book presents different areas of the life of the Roman Empire - political and military history, court customs and everyday life of remote provinces, religion and culture, economics and social structure of society. Paragraphs, entirely dedicated to individual provinces, allow, on the one hand, to see the life of ordinary people in the most remote corners of the empire, and on the other, to present the scale and growing power of the new Rome. Much attention was also paid to other areas, namely, the imperial court, finance and taxation, the positions of senators and riders, fleet and army, literature and art.
