Description
For more than seven hundred years, the ancient world was marked by a titanic confrontation: Rome and Persia, The Eagle versus the Lion. Adrian Goldsworthy, one of the great contemporary military historians, narrates this rivalry as a true epic saga that spans generations, emperors, and dynasties.
This was not a single war, but a constant clash between two superpowers vying for control of the eastern Mediterranean and Asia. Battles, diplomatic intrigues, betrayals, and military campaigns unfold in a narrative that reveals how the struggle between these two empires shaped the politics, culture, and destiny of the entire known world.
Goldsworthy combines historical rigor with a vibrant narrative style, making each page a living chronicle of power and resistance. The reader is drawn into a conflict that was much more than military: it was a struggle for cultural and spiritual hegemony in antiquity.
