Ancient Rome
From the Earliest Times Down to 476 A. D (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Ancient Rome: From the Earliest Times Down to 476 A. D <br><br>This compilation is designed to be a companion to the author's History of Greece. It is hoped that it may fill a want, now felt in many high schools and academies, of a short and clear statement of the rise and fall of Rome, with a biography of her chief men, and an outline of her institutions, manners, and religion.<br><br>For this new edition the book has been entirely rewritten, additional matter having been introduced whenever it has been found necessary to meet recent requirements.<br><br>The penults of proper names have been marked when long, both in the text and Index. The Examination Papers given are introduced to indicate the present range of requirement in leading colleges.<br><br>The maps and plans have been specially drawn and engraved for this book. The design has been to make them as clear and open as possible; consequently, names and places not mentioned in the text have, as a rule, been omitted.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
