The Hits.
The greatest stories from the earliest days of Rome...For those who want the best parts, this is your book – a shorter, more action-driven version of the first five books of History of Rome.From Romulus, the founder whose ambition built a city from nothing, to Camillus, Rome’s rescuer in its darkest hour, 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 essential stories that shaped a civilization.
