Why Rome? Why, some 2,000 years after the Roman Empire embarked upon
its decline and fall, do we remain bewitched by its ruin? From Russell
Crowe's Gladiator to Niall Ferguson's histories to Washington
thinktanks, the spectre of a crumbling Coliseum still haunts our
popular and political culture. The story of the collapse of Rome
speaks to something fundamental within the Western imagination.
