Download or read book Rome and Italy written by Livy and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-05-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books VI-X of Livy's monumental work trace Rome's fortunes from its near collapse after defeat by the Gauls in 386 bc to its emergence, in a matter of decades, as the premier power in Italy, having conquered the city-state of Samnium in 293 bc. In this fascinating history, events are described not simply in terms of partisan politics, but through colourful portraits that bring the strengths, weaknesses and motives of leading figures such as the noble statesman Camillus and the corrupt Manlius vividly to life. While Rome's greatest chronicler intended his history to be a memorial to former glory, he also had more didactic aims - hoping that readers of his account could learn from the past ills and virtues of the city.

This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Roman People an Elementary History of Rome There is little that is of more practical value to the young folk of to-day than the history of Rome. How a village king dom became a mighty republic, how the republic became a world-embracing empire, how that empire, the dread and pride of its millions of subjects, fell so low as to become the sport Of its own soldiers all this is, indeed, a tale of mar vel. But the history of Rome is more than a mere story. Many of the difficulties and many of the advantages Of the Roman Republic are akin to those of the American Repub lic. The solution of such problems as have already presented themselves in the United States is even now demanding the highest Wisdom Of the land. Other problems will arise in the near future. Roman history is a mighty object lesson, of value. To every citizen of our Republic, of especial value to the children into Whose hands the government will so speed ily pass. What is learned in years of maturity is an addi tion to one's mental equipment; what is learned in child hood becomes a part of the mind itself. That those Who read this book may find it of interest to-day, of service to morrow, is the Wish Of the author. Eva march tappan. March 1, 1910.

Download or read book Stories From the History of Rome Classic Reprint written by Mrs. Beesly and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories From the History of Rome The writer of this little book was not satisfied that her children should hear nothing but fairy tales and the stories of nursery life, now so popular. But she could find nothing else fit to read to them. There are, indeed, plenty of story-books drawing their materials from history, and professing to be intended for children. But they are not suited to very young children. They abound in words and ideas which a child of four or six years old not only does not understand, but cannot be made to understand. The writer, however, believed that it was quite possible to put portions of Livy and Plutarch into language which should need little or no explanation even to children of that age. She accordingly made the experiment. One story after another was written and read to her little boys. Whenever she discovered that a word or idea was unintelligible to them, she took pains to simplify it. She found that they thoroughly enjoyed these old tales from Roman history, and liked to hear them repeated again and again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Rome History. But it is necessary for my purpose to tell the story in its commonly accepted form. The city of Rome grew up gradually on seven hills lym by the Tiber, about fourteen miles from its mouth. It was a favourite delusion among the Romans that they were descended from the gods; and their poets and historians dwelt lovingly on the story of Eneas the Trojan, a son of Venus, who left the ashes of his native city, and wandered long, until he found a refuge in Latium, where his son Ascanius built on the ridge of a hill a long white city (alba Longa). There his descendants reigned through many generations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Republic of Rome The Roman Republic may be said to have commenced upon the day when Brutus and Collatinus were elected consuls. Tarquinius Superbus'was at this time king of Rome; and at the very moment when the revolution took place, he and his immense army were encamped before the walls of Ardea, endeavoring to bring that strong city in subjection to Rome. To be completely stripped of his power at home, and to be shamefully and helplessly driven from the midst of his tr00ps, was an event of which neither he nor his subjects had dreamed two days before its occurrence. Still it is not a matter which should occasion surprise, for Tarquinius was a detested tyrant, whom the people, under a resolute leader, were at any moment ready to crush.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Rome, Vol. 5 I have not been able or willing to assume the attitude of perfect indifference as to the Spirit and character of individual and national morality. I have not aimed at painting in those neutral tints which, if they do not give the wrong colours, cannot give the right colours either. But I have tried to aspire to that which is the highest and the most difficult virtue of an historian, impartiality - an impartiality which does not shrink from pronouncing judgment, but which guides the judge, even in passing sentence, to a just discrimination between right and wrong. Yet I have been charged with a bias unfavourable to Rome. Surely it would be strange for a man to devote, years of patient study and severe labour to a subject, if he were not inspired with a certain degree of enthusiasm for it. The general tendency of writers has been to exalt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
