Roman Revolution

It was a time of revolution. The Roman Revolution describes the little known "crisis of the third century", and how it led to a revolutionary new Roman Empire. Long before the more famous collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the fifth century, in the years between AD 235-275, barbarian invasions, civil war, and plague devastated ancient Rome.

Did you know that the Roman Empire was infamous for its slave trade? The slaves had very different lives, though. Some were treated nicely, others badly, and some sexually. There were slave rebellions, wars, and many other things going on. Dive into the Roman customs, the perspective on slaves, their ways of dealing with them, and the ways how people could become a free man. These and other details about life during Roman times will come to light fast in this comprehensive guide.

An island that shouldn't exist…A life he didn't know…A destiny that can't be escaped. There was no turning back. We were going to set into motion a revolution that could either save Atlantis or leave it destroyed in the process. Sixteen-year-old Trey Atlas' known life is a lie. While he was raised in Miami, Trey was actually born in Atlantis. Sent off the legendary island as a baby for his own safety, Trey is the only living heir to the Atlantean throne.

Despite its many crises, especially in Western Europe, there are still 1.2 billion Catholics in the world and the Church remains a powerful, controversial and defiantly archaic institution. After the French Revolution and the democratic rebellions of 1848, the Church retreated, especially under Pius IX, into a fortress of unreason, denouncing almost every aspect of modern life, including liberalism and socialism. In Losing a Kingdom, Gaining the World, Dr. Ambrogio A. Caiani narrates the epic, fascinating, entertaining and horrifying history of the Roman Catholic Church.
