Official synopsis Publisher
The Romans conquered many nations and peoples, but they could not conquer the natural world. Yes, they tried to subdue it. But, natural disasters like the Great Fire of Rome in AD64 and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79 reminded them that they had to work with nature to survive, and thrive, not ignore it. In this brilliant book, the world-famous historian and bible scholar Dr Daryn Graham explores with the reader every attested natural disaster of the Roman World from AD14 through to AD81, and examines the multiplicity of types of Roman responses to each one. By building upon his PhD research at Macquarie University in Sydney, Dr Daryn Graham brings together in this book a vast range of ancient evidence, together with the latest scholarship, in order to relay like an Olympic baton to the reader, what made those ancient Romans tick in the build-up to inevitable natural disasters like floods and fires in Rome, and during the aftermath, clean-ups, and rebuilding processes of so many that are well-known, and others that aren’t.
