While the beautiful love of Cornelia and Drusus lies at the sound sweet heart of the story, to say so is to give a most meager idea of the large sustained interest of the whole. William Stearns Davis (April 30, 1877 - February 15, 1930) was an American educator, historian, and author. He has been cited as one who "contributed to history as a scholarly discipline, . . . [but] was intrigued by the human side of history, which, at the time, was neglected by the discipline."After first experimenting with short stories, he turned while still a college undergraduate to longer forms to relate, from an involved (fictional) character's view, a number of critical turns of history. This faculty for humanizing, even dramatizing, history characterized Davis' later academic and professional writings as well, making them particularly suitable for secondary and higher education during the first half of the twentieth century in a field which, according to one editor, had "lost the freshness and robustness . . . the congeniality"that should mark the study of history. Both Davis' fiction and non-fiction are found in public and academic libraries today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Friend of Caesar: A Tale of the Fall of the Roman Republic, Time, 50-47 B. C IF this book serves to show that Classical Life presented many phases akin to our own, it will not have been written in vain. After the book was planned and in part written, it was discovered that Archdeacon Farrar had in his story of Dark ness and Dawn a scene, Onesimus and the Vestal, which corresponds very closely to the scene, Agias and the Vestal, in this book; but the latter incident was too characteristically Roman not to risk repetition. If it is asked why such a book as this is desirable after those noble fictions, Darkness and Dawn and Quo Vadis, the reply must be that these'books necessarily take and interpret the Christian point of view. And they do well; but the Pagan point of view still needs its interpretation, at least as a help to an easy apprehension of the life and literature of the great age of the Fall of the Roman Republic. This is the aim of A Friend of Caesar. The Age of Caesar prepared the way for. The Age of Nero, when Christianity could find a world in a state of such culture, unity, and social stability that it could win an adequate and abiding triumph.

Book excerpt: It was the Roman month of September, seven hundred and four years afterRomulus so tradition ran founded the little village by the Tiber whichwas to become "Mother of Nations," "Centre of the World," "ImperialRome." To state the time according to modern standards it was July,fifty years before the beginning of the Christian Era. The fierceItalian sun was pouring down over the tilled fields and stretches ofwoodland and grazing country that made up the landscape, and theatmosphere was almost aglow with the heat. The dust lay thick on thepavement of the highway, and rose in dense, stifling clouds, as a mule,laden with farm produce and driven by a burly countryman, trudgedreluctantly along.Yet, though the scene suggested the heat of midsummer, it was far frombeing unrefreshing, especially to the eyes of one newly come. For thisspot was near "cool Pr�neste," one of the favourite resorts of Latium tothe wealthy, invalid, or indolent of Rome, who shunned the excessiveheat of the capital. And they were wise in their choice; for Pr�neste,with its citadel, which rose twelve hundred feet over the adjoiningcountry, commanded in its ample sweep both the views and the breezes ofthe whole wide-spreading Campagna. Here, clustering round the hill onwhich stood the far-famed "Temple of Fortune," lay the old Latin town ofthe Pr�nestians; a little farther westward was the settlement foundedsome thirty odd years before by Sulla as a colony. Farther out, andstretching off into the open country, lay the farmhouses and villas,gardens and orchards, where splendid nuts and roses, and also wine, grewin abundant measure.
