Journey through Rome’s earliest days as it battles neighbors, shapes its laws, and forges a lasting power.
This edition of History of Rome and of the Roman People begins with Rome’s rise amid war and alliance. It traces the Gallic invasion, Latium’s struggles, and the efforts to restore strength after each blow. Vivid episodes put you beside generals, soldiers, and citizens as they navigate conquest, politics, and the birth of shared institutions.
Duruy weaves together military history and the beginnings of Rome’s political order, showing how early leaders, tribes, and battles shaped the city’s future. You’ll encounter key figures such as Camillus and Valerius Corvus, and gain a sense of the challenges Rome faced as it expanded from a city-state into a resilient republic.
