    The story of Rome’s rise is one of ambition, resilience, and conquest. What began as a small settlement along the Tiber River grew into one of the most powerful empires in history. Rome’s transformation from a monarchy to a republic and eventually into a sprawling empire was shaped by its military prowess, political strategies, and influential leaders. 
    Rome’s early history is rooted in legend. According to myth, the city was founded in 753 BCE by Romulus, who, after a dispute, killed his twin brother Remus. While this tale is shrouded in mystery, archaeological evidence suggests that settlements on the Palatine Hill date back much earlier. Initially ruled by kings, Rome transitioned to a republic in 509 BCE after the overthrow of the last Etruscan monarch, Tarquin the Proud. This shift established a new political system that placed power in the hands of elected officials, most notably the Senate and the consuls. 
    The Republic’s success was largely due to its military strength. The Roman legions were highly disciplined and adaptable, allowing Rome to expand its influence across the Italian Peninsula. Through a combination of warfare and strategic alliances, Rome defeated neighboring city-states and incorporated them into its growing domain. One of its defining moments came during the Punic Wars against Carthage (264–146 BCE), where figures like Scipio Africanus led Rome to decisive victories, securing its dominance over the Mediterranean.

    A Christian Perspective on Overcoming Cognitive Bias 
     
     
     
    So much human behavior can be explained by two motives: we want to be right, and we want to feel good about ourselves. But the tension between these two motives makes us especially vulnerable to bias—and bias distorts our view of the world and of ourselves and can keep us from doing even what we know is right. 
     
     
     
    In The Unbiased Self, social psychologist Erin Devers lays out what psychology has discovered about bias and selfishness. To truly overcome cognitive bias, we need a vision of what an unbiased self could look like, stemming from a solid sense of identity—an identity available in Christian faith. Devers explains how a Christian concept of the self can provide the combination of humility with self-confidence that enables unbiased thinking. Using current research and illuminating stories, this book describes how "fast" and "slow" thinking work together in everyday life; 
    diagnoses when we're most vulnerable to distorted thinking; 
    considers how regarding every person as a child of God counteracts implicit bias; reveals psychological insights into spiritual formation; and recommends practices for slowing our thinking to seek God's wisdom about our ourselves and others.
