Child's First History Of Rome by Elizabeth Missing Sewell is a juvenile history that narrates the rise of Rome from its legendary foundation to the later empire in accessible prose. Sewell blends myth and factual events to explain monarchy (Romulus and Remus, Numitor and Amulius), the early Republic (consuls, patricians and plebeians, the Decemviri), and the great wars that shaped Roman power: the Samnite wars, the Punic Wars, and the civil conflicts between Marius and Sulla, Julius Caesar, Pompey, and the later emperors. The book emphasizes moral instruction, religious themes, and the lessons of virtue, obedience, courage, and justice. The chapters interleave narrative with illustrations of Roman life: government structures, debt slavery, gladiators, public games, architecture, daily life, and Roman manners. It includes a Christian lens, noting biblical parallels and contrasting pagan belief with Christian virtue. It is designed for young readers and uses simple language, with maps, chronology, and a teaching tone to foster historical understanding and moral reflection.
