Not much has happened in the Roman Empire since 1994 that required the first edition to be updated, but Bunson, a prolific reference and history author, has revised it, incorporated new findings and thinking, and changed the dating style to C.E. (Common Era) and B.C.E. (Before Common Era). For the 500 years from Julius Caesar and the Gallic Wars in 59-51 B.C.E. to the fall of the empire in the west in 476 C.E, he discusses personalities, terms, sites, and events. There is very little cross-referencing.

The most important surviving encyclopedia from the ancient world, Pliny the Elder's Natural History is unparalleled as a guide to the cultural meanings of everyday things in first-century Rome. As part of a new direction in classical scholarship, Trevor Murphy reads the work not just for the information it contains, but to understand how and why Pliny collects and presents information as he does. Concentrating on the geographic and ethnographic information in Pliny, Murphy demonstrates the work's political importance. The selection and arrangement of the encyclopedia's material show that it is more than an instrument of reference: it is a monument to the power of Roman imperial society.

" ... Provides a stimulating introduction for readers with little previous knowledge of history. In our increasingly interdependent world, and understanding of other people and their history is becoming vitally important, but many people find it difficult to acquire an overall view of world history because they do not have attractive starting points. This book fills the gap. In short visual chapters, it provides the bare bones of the major developments in the history of the world. The book looks at individual civilisations and vividly describes how people lived, their discoveries and inventions, their conflicts with rival civilisations and their contributions to our own cultural heritage"--About this book.
