    The rise of Rome is one of the most remarkable stories in world history, transforming from a small settlement on the banks of the Tiber River into one of the most powerful empires the world has ever seen. The foundation of Rome is traditionally dated to 753 BCE, attributed to the legendary figure Romulus. Over time, Rome evolved through three major phases: the monarchy, the republic, and the empire, each contributing to its dominance. The city's location played a crucial role in its growth, offering natural protection, fertile land, and access to trade routes that facilitated economic and military expansion. 
    During the period of the Roman Kingdom, Rome was ruled by a series of kings, who laid the groundwork for its legal and social structures. However, dissatisfaction with monarchical rule led to the establishment of the Roman Republic in 509 BCE. This new form of government introduced a complex system of checks and balances, with power divided among elected officials, including consuls, senators, and popular assemblies. The republic was built on the idea of civic duty and military service, which helped unify its citizens under a shared sense of identity. It was during this time that Rome expanded its influence, conquering neighboring territories through strategic military campaigns. The Roman legions, known for their discipline and tactical superiority, played a key role in these conquests. 
    Rome’s transition from a republic to an empire was marked by internal conflicts and power struggles. As Rome’s territories expanded, so did the challenges of governance. The late republic saw growing economic inequality, political corruption, and civil wars between powerful leaders. Figures like Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus sought control, leading to the eventual downfall of the republic. The assassination of Caesar in 44 BCE created further instability, but it ultimately paved the way for the rise of Augustus, who became the first emperor in 27 BCE.

    Wicked Charleston: The Dark Side of the Holy City, by local resident and tour guide Mark R. Jones, explores the dark alleys and seedy characters not often associated with the Charleston of today. 
     
     
     
    A beautiful Southern city distinguished by its opulent homes, towering church steeples, and hospitality, Charleston, South Carolina, has long been associated with the genteel side of Southern living. However, beyond the outward appearances that most people associate with Charleston, there is another side that most visitors and residents would dare not believe is part of the very fabric from which the city's history was woven. From the sexual escapades of an original Lord Proprietor and the comings and goings of the most notorious pirates, to secret brothels and nightclubs, Jones leads the reader back to a time when "drinking, eating, and whoring with more than fifty wenches" was perhaps more common in the Holy City than one may imagine.
