- Good Historical Overview
This is a decent historical overview of the Roman world. This book is a lot of history so its usefulness to all fields of human study, such as archaeology or anthropology, is limited. I was disappointed by how trade, infrastructure, and material culture were mostly glossed over. I was also dismayed about how brief some parts of the book were and how it was somewhat disorganized (for example, the activities and raison d'etre of the praetorian guard were introduced early in the book in the section on emperor's but not explained until the discussion on society). I have read better books on the subject of the Roman Empire, but this one is ok for a general synopsis of Roman society and history.

- A fantastic starting point
This is another book in this series that is absolutely fantastic. These books were a godsend when I was studying for a Classics degree. They're not technical or weighed down in heavy jargon. Instead, this book is an ideal and intelligent introduction to the Roman World. The style is approachable and snappy. The aim of the book is to provide an overview but this is excellently supplemented by an extensive bibliography for those who wish to study the subject further. If you're looking for a book on this period, you couldn't do much better than this.
