Synopsis
The Child's First History Of Rome by Elizabeth Missing Sewell. This juvenile history offers a concise, child-friendly introduction to the rise of Rome, tracing its origins from legendary founders to the early republic and the vast empire that followed. The text presents a chronological narrative across chapters, covering Romulus and Remus, the Roman kings, the expulsion of the kings and the birth of the Republic, and the great wars that shaped Roman power—from the Gauls’ sack of Rome to the Punic Wars, and the era of Julius Caesar and Augustus. It also explains key institutions such as the consulship, tribunes, and the Decemviri, and interweaves memorable episodes (Horatius Cocles, Brutus) with moral and religious reflections typical of 19th-century juvenile literature. Alongside political history, the book introduces everyday life in ancient Rome—houses, dress, public life, and customs—through accessible prose. It situates Rome within broader ancient civilizations (Greeks, Carthaginians, Macedonians) and emphasizes moral instruction and piety in a narrative designed for young readers.
