It was built by decisions, discipline, and destiny.These are the stories that explain Rome's Epic Rise…How does a small riverside settlement become the foundation of one of the greatest civilizations in history?Livy tells the story, and our modern translation finally lets today’s readers experience it the way it was meant to be read.
The Trials.

Now watch it rise again…After the terrifying Gallic sack that nearly erased the city from history, Rome stands shaken but not broken. Surrounded by enemies, abandoned by allies, and facing internal unrest, the Republic enters one of the most decisive eras in its history. These books show Rome not as a myth, but as a hardened power forged through relentless war, discipline, and political transformation.
The Hits.
All the greatest stories of the early history of Rome...A shorter, more action-driven version of the first five books of History of Rome, written for students, hobbyists, and professionals.The First Romans takes readers back to the raw, violent, politically charged centuries when Rome was still becoming Rome, when survival depended on courage, discipline, and leaders who could stand firm when everything seemed lost. These are the stories that shaped a civilization.
