Synopsis

The Kings Of Rome by Frederick William Ricord. This 19th-century narrative is part of Ricord’s Series of Roman History and offers a concise, didactic account of Rome’s regal era, tracing the monarchy from Romulus through Tarquinius Superbus. The work retells foundational myths and key events, including the birth of Rome, the suppression and support of tyrants, early laws and religious institutions, and monumental public works. It weaves together myth and history to show Rome’s growth from a small settlement on the Tiber to a powerful city-state, highlighting kings’ schemes, major wars with Latins and Etruscans, and the evolution of political and civic structures such as the Senate, census, and temples. Framed as accessible to school libraries, the text emphasizes civic virtue, the dangers of tyranny, and the rule of law as guiding principles for Rome’s development. The narrative culminates with the expulsion of Tarquinius Superbus and the birth of the Roman Republic.
