"The Great Events by Famous Historians, Volume 03" by Horne, Johnson, and Rudd is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume serves as a comprehensive overview of significant events in world history, particularly during the period of the Roman Empire, presented through narratives by notable historians. It emphasizes critical occurrences such as the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the rise of early Christianity, and various military campaigns, intending to provide readers with a well-rounded understanding of these transformative moments. The opening of this volume introduces the overarching themes of the Roman Empire's history, including its expansion, governance, and the cultural backdrop that allowed Christianity to emerge. It discusses how Rome, often perceived as an unyielding power, was, in fact, a complex society that evolved through both military conquest and internal challenges. The text highlights Augustus's role in establishing peace—a period referred to as the "Roman peace"—and underscores the eventual decline of Roman authority as internal discord and external pressures mounted. Additionally, the text alludes to the spread of Christianity amidst political upheaval, touching on the fierce dedication of early Christians during times of persecution. This creates a rich context for examining specific events detailed later in the book.
