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.
