Features: This book primarily focuses on Ancient Rome. It is divided into five chapters, covering main content such as Chapter 1: The Birth of Rome, Chapter 2: The Expansion of the Republic, Chapter 3: The Era of the Empire, Chapter 4: Greatness Belongs to Rome, and Chapter 5: Stepping into Ancient Rome. The origin of every nation is inseparable from myths and heroes. These romantic and ancient legends shaped the spirit of the people in antiquity and today provide historians with clues to trace their footsteps. The myths of the Romans began with bloodshed, which may be the origin of their martial spirit. According to Homer's Odyssey, in 1184 BC, Agamemnon led the Greek coalition to conquer the city of Troy in Asia Minor using the Trojan Horse strategy. As per the customs of the time, the victors razed the once prosperous city to the ground, and the Trojans suffered brutal massacres.
