I ran across this several months ago, and was tempted to post it then. What stopped me is the fact that it's not a markdown. But it is a bargain, IMHO, and when I ran across it again today, I decided that I really should post it because of that.

By comparing the print list price and the price of this Kindle ebook, I think that you will see why I call it "a bargain"--the print list price is $20.95; the Kindle ebook is $1.49.

This book will give you a great overview of the time period of the rise of the republic, AD 14-193, in the history of the ancient civilization and empire of Rome. But the publisher, Osprey, to my mind, sets itself apart by its graphics. This book has numerous color maps related to the rise of the Roman republic that are enjoyable to view and are very helpful.

This ebook could almost go on the "Christian Interest" thread. During the period of AD 14-193, Rome controlled all of the geographical areas (that I can think of) mentioned, to any extent, in the New Testament. And during that time period Jesus did his ministry and some 150 years of the history of the church transpired.

The Rise of Imperial Rome AD 14-193 (Osprey Guide to... Series). By Duncan C. Campbell. Rated 4.7 stars, but from only 3 reviews at Amazon; rated 3.33, but from only 9 ratings at GoodReads. Print list price $20.95; digital list price $1.49; Kindle price now $1.49. Osprey Publishing, publisher. 96 pages. https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Imperial.../dp/B00KSG04G6.

Book Description
In this book Duncan Campbell explores the course of the wars that ensued as successive emperors sought to extend the empire, from Claudius’ conquest of Britannia, Domitian’s campaigns on the Rhine and the Danube, through Trajan’s Dacian Wars and Parthian War, to Marcus Aurelius’ Marcomannic Wars, as well as the Jewish Wars, ending with the consolidation of the Roman frontiers along the Rhine and Danube.

This book provides a summary of the strengths, limitations and evolving character of the Roman army during the first two centuries AD, as well as those of the forces of Rome’s enemies across the Rhine and Danube in Germany and Romania, and in the East, in the form of the Parthian empire of Iraq/Iran. This is the epic story of the wars waged by a succession of emperors during the period in which Imperial Rome reached its zenith.
