Древний Рим. Взлет и падение империи - Саймон Бейкер

Среди сотрудников издательства «Би-Би-Си Букс» я хочу от всего сердца поблагодарить редактора Мартина Реферна за оказанное мне доверие, за терпение и руководство в процессе написания книги; Элеонор Максфилд за ведение всего проекта столь неустанно и доброжелательно; Триш Бёргресс за редактирование и улучшение текста; Сару Хоппер за ее замечательную работу по изучению иллюстративного материала и Мартина Хендри за круглосуточный труд оформления книги.

Эта книга никогда бы не увидела свет без щедрой помощи ученых, которые участвовали в проекте как научные консультанты. Я многим обязан Мартину Гудману и Аврил Кэмерон за их ответы на мои вопросы и поправки к главам IV и V соответственно. Также я благодарен Питеру Хизеру, чьи советы и недавно вышедшая книга «The Fall of the Roman Empire» существенно обогатили главу IV. Но моя самая глубокая благодарность направлена в адрес Мэри Биэрд, которая любезно делилась со мной идеями, читала рукопись, отвечала на электронные письма в рекордно короткое время и вносила бессчетные поправки в текст (спасая мне жизнь). Она вдохновляла меня на работу, а ее знания легли в основу этой книги.

Я искренне благодарен моим учителям Саймону Прайсу, Летеции Эдварде, Пите Фаулер, Джеймсу Морвуду и Брюсу Маккраю; моему брату Мэтью за то, что он составил мне отличную компанию для прогулок по римским руинам в Средизноморье; и наконец, моей матери Пэтси, Мартину и Кейт, моим друзьям, особенно Кари Лай, Сэму Симу, Пауле Трыбуховска, Марку Уильямсу, Хелен Румбелоу, Тони Причарду, Карду Си-верцу и Хелен Вайнштайн — за их горячую поддержку.
