Rome

Focusing on these specific invasions offers a compelling narrative structure, but I wonder if this was a deliberate decision to highlight particular turning points or if it evolved during research.

The vivid recounting of battles and cultural shifts really brought these moments to life for me. I'm curious how much of that was based on primary sources versus Kneale's interpretation.

Covering such a vast timeline in a focused way must have been challenging. I wonder what was left out or condensed to make it work.
