Summary
J. B. Bury’s “A History of the Roman Empire from Its Foundation to the Death of Marcus Aurelius (27 B.C.–180 A.D.)” is a 1893 Victorian era scholarly survey of the early Roman Empire, written for students but still widely valued for its clear prose and careful use of evidence. It is also commonly known by the title The Student’s Roman Empire in some editions and catalogue records.
