IIe siècle après Jésus-Christ : Rome est à son apogée. Son empire, immense, s'étend de l'Atlantique à la Mer noire, de la Méditerranée aux confins de l'Orient. Pierre angulaire du système impérial, l'armée multiplie les conquêtes et assure leur pérennité. Sa réputation est sans égale. Reflet des circonstances politiques, économiques et sociales, elle est pourtant loin d'être une armée parfaite. Désertions, passages à l'ennemi, mutineries ne sont pas rares. Aussi les Césars se sont-ils attachés, en recourant aux punitions, aux récompenses, et avant tout à la discipline, à faire de l'ensemble une machine de guerre efficace. Machine de guerre qui eut des moments de faiblesse, connut de cuisantes défaites et profita de circonstances extérieures favorables, comme la division de ses ennemis. Nourri aux meilleures sources, croisant les textes littéraires, juridiques, les inscriptions et les résultats des fouilles archéologiques, l'ouvrage de Catherine Wolff offre une synthèse vivante de cette histoire militaire, de l'époque républicaine à la mort de l'empereur Commode en 192 après J-C.

"A smart and thought-provoking cultural history of heaven. What do we think of when we think about heaven? What might it look like? Who or what might be there? Since humans began to huddle together for protection thousands of years ago, these questions have been part of how civilizations and cultures define heaven, the good place beyond this one. From Christianity to Islam to Hinduism and beyond, from the brush of Michelangelo to the pen of Dante, people across millennia have tried to explain and describe heaven in ways that are distinctive and analogous, unique and universal. In this engrossing cultural history of heaven, Catherine Wolff delves into how people and cultures have defined heaven over the centuries. She describes how different faiths and religions have framed it, how the sense of heaven has evolved, and how non-religious influences have affected it, from the Enlightenment to the increasingly non-religious views of heaven today. Wolff looks deep into the accounts of heaven to discover what's common among them and what makes each conception memorable. The result is an engaging, thoughtful exploration of an idea that's central to our humanity and our desire to define an existence beyond death"--
