A Child's History of Rome, Vol. 1 of 2 by John Bonner Pdf

Excerpt from A Child's History of Rome, Vol. 1 of 2 This little book was written and published several years ago, and has been read by many who are now men and women. In it I tried to tell the story of a nation from which we borrowed much of our learning and our law and our letters and our manliness. Like the history of most ancient nations, that story begins with legend and fable, which, though not actually true, still show you what manner of men the old Romans were. Out of the mist of the fable grew a brave, patient, big-hearted nation, which rose in power till its eagles flew over three continents, and its schools garnered into their fold nearly all the science and wisdom of ancient times; then, fainting from excess of empire and wealth, its grasp relaxed and it fell to pieces, which lay buried for a thousand years in the gloom of ignorance and superstition. In this new edition of the child's history I have added a few lines here and there in order that you shall understand the story without too much labor.

A Child's History of Rome, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) by John Bonner Pdf

Excerpt from A Child's History of Rome, Vol. 1 of 2 It was a very famous place, the Forum; and I have said this much about it in order that you may have some picture of it in your eye when you hear it mentioned in this history. There were many temples at Rome, but as they long ago crumbled into dust, we know little or no thing about them. There was an aqueduct, called the Appian Aqueduct after its builder, an old Ro man named Aprwe claudius, about whom there were many famous stories. This aqueduct brought water to the city from a source eight miles off. And there was a great drain, which, I think, was the most wonderful work of ancient Rome. People said it had been built by an old king of Rome, whose name was servius tullius, two hundred years ago and more: any how, it was very old, and so wide that a cart and horse could drive through it, and so strong that it does its duty still, and not a stone of it has mouldered away. I wonder how our drains will look two thousand years hence! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Child's History of Rome, Vol. 2 of 2 After the election Pompey said to Crassus, Do you go to Asia and look after our enemies there, and I will stay here and take care of Rome. And Crassus answered, With all my heart. For he knew that there was a fine chance for making money among the rich nations of Asia, and he cared very little for power in comparison with riches.

A Child's History of Rome by John Bonner Pdf

A stream of narrative, clear, simple, and flowing. We have witnessed the effects of this book on the minds of children with much interest. Their attention never flags; they soon catch the points of interest; they discriminate between the vrai and the semiblable, and become historians and critics in a surprising manner. We think this work highly creditable to the author and oar literature, and should be introduced into our schools. It is written in the spirit of, and up to the requirements of, the present age. --N. Y. Herald.

The Early History of Rome by Livy Pdf

With stylistic brilliance and historical imagination, the first five books of Livy's monumental history of Rome record events from the foundation of Rome through the history of the seven kings, the establishment of the Republic and its internal struggles, up to Rome's recovery after the fierce Gallic invasion of the fourth century bc. Livy vividly depicts the great characters, legends, and tales, including the story of Romulus and Remus. Reprinting Robert Ogilvie's lucid 1971 introduction, this highly regarded edition now boasts a new preface, examining the text in light of recent Livy scholarship, informative maps, bibliography, and an index. Translated by Aubrey de Sélincourt with an introduction by Robert Ogilvie.

Religions of Rome: Volume 1, A History by Mary Beard,John North,Simon Price Pdf

This book offers a radical new survey of more than a thousand years of religious life at Rome. It sets religion in its full cultural context, between the primitive hamlet of the eighth century BC and the cosmopolitan, multicultural society of the first centuries of the Christian era. The narrative account is structured around a series of broad themes: how to interpret the Romans' own theories of their religious system and its origins; the relationship of religion and the changing politics of Rome; the religious importance of the layout and monuments of the city itself; changing ideas of religious identity and community; religious innovation - and, ultimately, revolution. The companion volume, Religions of Rome: A Sourcebook, sets out a wide range of documents richly illustrating the religious life in the Roman world.
