How to get all versions of Confluence page through REST API

I would like to get all versions of a page in Confluence. There is a call in the REST API that claims to return a story, but I had no luck with it.

/rest/api/content/{id}/history

When I call it, I get an answer along these lines:

{"latest": true,
    "createdBy": {
    "type": "known",
    "profilePicture": {
        "path": "/confluence/s/en_GB/.../profilepics/Avatar-14.png",
        "width": 48,
        "height": 48,
        "isDefault": false
    },
    "username": "first.last@abc123.com",
    "displayName": "First Last",
    "userKey": "userKey"
}, "createdDate": "2014-12-29T13:56:16.000+0100", "_links": {
    "base": "https://host.abc123.net/confluence",
    "context": "/confluence",
    "self": "host.abc123.net/confluence/rest/api/content/12345678/history"
}, "_expandable": {
    "lastUpdated": ""
}}

I know that this page has 17 versions in history via the browser interface. It seems that I'm not going anywhere, adding any kind of expand = to the request.

The Confluence REST API documentation tells me that this call should:

Returns the full JSON representation of the content history

If I go to the “normal” REST API call to retrieve the content, I can get some hint of history in the version structure:

{"version": {
    "by": {
        "type": "known",
        "profilePicture": {
            "path": "/confluence/s/en_GB/5639/.../profilepics/default.png",
            "width": 48,
            "height": 48,
            "isDefault": true
        },
        "username": "some.other@abc123",
        "displayName": "Some Other",
        "userKey": "userKeyGuidThingy"
    },
    "when": "2015-01-30T16:00:09.000+0100",
    "message": "",
    "number": 17,
    "minorEdit": false
}      }

I really want to get other versions, numbers 1 - 16, but I don’t see how ..
