The History Of Rome V1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162697390)

The History of Rome V1 by Livy is a comprehensive account of the early history of Rome, spanning from its legendary founding in 753 BC to the end of the Samnite Wars in 290 BC. The book is divided into ten books, each of which covers a different period in Roman history. Livy's work is a combination of historical fact and mythological legend, and his narrative style is both engaging and informative. He covers the political, social, and military developments of Rome, as well as the cultural and religious practices of the ancient Romans. Some of the key events covered in the book include the founding of Rome by Romulus and Remus, the reign of the seven kings of Rome, the establishment of the Roman Republic, the Punic Wars against Carthage, and the conquest of Greece and Macedonia. Throughout the book, Livy provides detailed descriptions of battles, political intrigue, and social customs, as well as insights into the personalities and motivations of the key figures in Roman history. The History of Rome V1 is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of ancient Rome, and it remains a classic work of historical literature to this day.To begin with, it is generally admitted that after the capture of Troy, whilst the rest of the Trojans were massacred, against two of them-Aeneas and Antenor -the Achivi refused to exercise the rights of war, partly owing to old ties of hospitality, and partly because these men had always been in favour of making peace and surrendering Helen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
