Описание:

A highly illustrated account of one of Ancient Rome's most humiliating defeats, the battle of the Caudine Forks in 321 BC, and how the embarrassment spurred the Roman Army on to eventual triumph.

In its long history, the Roman Republic suffered many defeats, but none as humiliating as the Caudine Forks in the summer of 321 BC. Rome had been at war with the Samnites--one of early Rome's most formidable foes--since 327 BC in what would turn out to be a long and bitter conflict now known as the Second Samnite War. The rising, rival Italic powers vied for supremacy in central and southern Italy, and their leaders were contemplating the conquest of the entire Italian peninsula. Driven by the ambitions of Titus Veturius Calvinus and Spurius Postumius Albinus, Roman forces were determined to inflict a crippling blow on the Samnites, but their combined armies were instead surprised, surrounded, and forced to surrender by the Samnites led by Gavius Pontius. The Roman soldiers, citizens of Rome to a man, were required to quit the field by passing under the yoke of spears in a humiliating ritual worse than death itself.

This new study, using specially commissioned artwork and maps, analyses why the Romans were so comprehensively defeated at the Caudine Forks, and explains why the protracted aftermath of their dismal defeat was so humiliating and how it spurred them on to their eventual triumph over the Samnites. With this in mind, this study will widen its focus to take account of other major events in the Second Samnite War.

Описание: The War of 1812 saw the emergence of the US Navy as a powerful force, mainly through the use of their 44-gun frigates. Their victories in the war and their successes against the Barbary pirates caught the imagination of the world - and spurred all navies into re-examining the class.

Описание: Reveals what it was like for ordinary people to live through the great events of the history books. This book, through the eyes of the mostly apolitical fifteen-year-old protagonist, helps us experience the songs and flags, the radio propaganda of the last year of World War 2; and the frequent air raids taking shelter in the catacombs. Following the success of "Spoon", this title presents 10 leading design experts` choice of 100 of the most important young product designers from around the world. With a short written piece provided by the curators for each designer, it gives insight into why the designer`s work has been chosen, and their background and future design plans.

Описание: This first modern full-length study of the silver-fork novel argues that such novels, wildly popular in the early years of the nineteenth century and yet condemned by contemporary critics as dangerously seductive, were in fact political fictions designed to effect an alliance of the middle-classes and the aristocracy.
