Description
Ruined buildings and marble statues give good impression of Rome’s greatness but the observer may still wonder what the people themselves were really like. This book puts the flesh back on the bones by relating the stories the Romans themselves told about their beginnings and the adventures of their great heroes. They emerge as men of action, admiring courage and loyalty and ready to be ruthless in establishing themselves as leaders among the warring tribes of early Italy. The stories move swiftly and their drama is perfectly caught in the many vivid and exciting illustrations.
