The History of Rome Book II Hardback - 2010

The History of Rome Book II is a detailed and comprehensive account of the early years of the Roman Republic, written by the renowned German historian Theodor Mommsen. This book covers the period from the founding of Rome in 753 BC to the end of the monarchy in 509 BC, and the establishment of the Republic. Mommsen provides a thorough analysis of the political, social, and economic developments of this period, as well as the wars and conflicts that shaped Rome's early history. He also delves into the religious and cultural practices of the Romans, and their interactions with neighboring peoples. Mommsen's writing is highly academic and scholarly, but also engaging and accessible to the general reader. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Rome, and a valuable addition to any library.But the subjugation, with which the coalition of the Etruscan and Carthaginian nations had threatened both Greeks and Italians, was fortunately averted by the combination of peoples drawn towards each other by family affinity as well as by common peril. The Etruscan army, which after the fall of Rome had penetrated into Latium, had its victorious career checked in the first instance before the walls of Aricia by the well-timed intervention of the Cumaeans who had hastened to the succour of the Aricines (248).This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
