Scope?
This is very much a work in progress right now. Clearly this is a very broad topic and I hardly know where to begin. As such I have been working on the bibliography mainly. I also think 'Ancient Rome' is very ambiguous. When I hear that I think of the city proper, however I felt that this article should cover the political entity rather then the city proper. Feedback anyone? --???
