First line
The first history of Rome was written by Quintus Fabius Pictor, a senator from a very famous patrician family.
From the rear cover
Professor Wiseman provides, for the first time, a detailed analysis of all the variants of the story, and a historical explanation for its origin and development. His conclusions offer important new insights, both into history and ideology of pre-imperial Rome and into the methods and motives of myth-creation in a non-literate society.
