About Great Empires
Empires rose on grain and the nerve of a few capable rulers, then slipped away over a generation or a few centuries. Rome held its provinces together with paved highways. The Inca did it with rope bridges strung across mountain gorges. It's a long procession of names, and most of us only half remember where one ends and the next begins.
