Warde (William Warde) 1847 1921 Fowler, William Warde Fowler, Warde 12006568 Rome Produced by Stephen Hutcheson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) "Rome" by W. Warde Fowler is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book aims to explore the rise of Rome, its character, and its significance in the Mediterranean basin, serving as a foundation for understanding its eventual dominion and influence. The opening of the book sets the stage by examining the mundane nature of Roman antiquities, illustrating how their practicality often overshadowed the beauty typically associated with Greek art and culture. Fowler portrays the Romans as a highly practical and realistic people, emphasizing utility over aesthetic appeal in their creations. He notes that Roman literature and philosophy center around utilitarian themes rather than lofty ideals, suggesting a culture marked by discipline and a focus on governance and societal obligations. The beginning clearly establishes Fowler's approach to understanding Rome not just as a historical entity, but as a civilization shaped by its practical pursuits and challenges, laying a framework for the detailed discussions that will follow regarding its political, military, and cultural developments.
