(John Clarke) 1878 1933 Stobart, John Clarke Stobart, J.C. 13016818 The Grandeur That Was Rome: a survey of Roman culture and civilisation Produced by Chuck Greif, Thierry Alberto and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Grandeur That Was Rome: A Survey of Roman Culture and Civilisation" by J.C. Stobart is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work aims to provide a comprehensive view of Roman history, emphasizing the significance of Rome's contributions to Western civilization and human progress, moving beyond the literary and academic traditions that often shape historical narratives. Stobart seeks to rebalance the perception of Rome, particularly in light of the conventional views that often overshadow the accomplishments of the Roman Empire. The opening of this survey introduces the reader to the author's point of view, which focuses on the enduring legacy of Roman civilization and the need to reinterpret its history beyond the traditional Roman Republic perspective. Stobart acknowledges the biases of past historians and critiques the inadequate emphasis placed on the Imperial period in favor of the Republic. He highlights that Rome's evolution, characterized by a transition from a Republic to an expansive Empire, was integral to the development of political structures and cultural legacies that define modern Europe. The text not only sets the stage for a deep exploration of Roman history but also invites the reader to appreciate the complexities and innovations that arose during this period.
