Hannibal and Quo Vadis Emperium: Rise of the Roman Mediterranean Sea Empire

February 7, 2023

The main object of this narrative is to attempt present a timeline reiated to the cultural, social, and historical events that allowed the Romans to almost instantaneously design and construct the ancient world's most powerful naval force. This seemingly surprising and almost impossible task was accomplished despite the fact that the Romans had no virtual experience in ship-building or in the skills related to navigation, naval warfare, or dealing with sudden deadly weather conditions that could destroyan entire fleet of ships.

Rise of the Roman Empire: The Will to Endure

Rise of the Roman Empire: The Will to Endure is a daring interpretation of the ways and means that the Roman Empire became the greatest military power of the ancient world, and how the vastness of this empire engulfed the entire Mediterranean world, as well as most of Europe. I the second century BCE, the Greek historian Polybius (200-118 BCE), after arriving in Rome in 168 BCE, asked in his Histories: "How did the Romans succeed in building a world empire in such a short span of time?" This book takes the perspective Polybius's question was mistaken, in the sense that the fromation of the Roman Empire, took a very long time--indeed, centuries. The formation of the Roman Empire began in 390 BCE whan the Gauls burned Rome; and even before that time, as this book demonstrates, the kings of Rome were some of the first empire builders.
