An introduction to the history and civilzation of Rome from the traditional date of the founding of the city to its fall in 476 A.D. The material in this book also was thoroughly tried out in the author's classes before publication, and Miss Mills again makes history as vital thing and historians, statesmen, and poets of the ancient world living figures. With this book is concluded the series on the ancient world, and a chart at the end of the book places all events and persons referred to in the three books in their proper chronological setting.

**Edited by Memoria Press
Like any good Roman course, this one begins with the she-wolf who nurses in infancy the legendary founders of Rome: Romulus and Remus. The rise and fall of a monarchy, the embrace of a republic with the simultaneous dislike for kings, and finally the rise of the Roman empire teach unforgettable principles about human nature and society. Dorothy Mills covers all of this, over 1,200 years of history, in an accessible text for middle-schoolers, with many references to primary sources in translation. We believe this book covers the Roman history expertly for younger students. It not only addresses the historical events, but includes notes on Roman culture, political system, and religion.
This Memoria Press edition includes many illustrations of famous places and battles, busts of famous Romans, and maps of the Roman world in order to immerse the student in the period.
