About this title

Synopsis

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.

• Learn how ancient Rome faced invasions and forged alliances that expanded its influence.
• Meet prominent leaders and the moments that tested Rome’s resolve and organizational strength.
• See how early military and political reforms set the stage for later Roman power.
• Understand the interplay of conquest, governance, and culture in early Rome.

Ideal for readers interested in classical Rome, military history, and the origins of Roman society.
