Excerpt from The Civil and Constitutional History of Rome: From Its Foundation to the Age of Augustus

It is not however proposed, nor would it indeed be practicable, in treating of Rome, to pass over Without notice the constant and rapid succession of her wars and triumphs: for in pursuing the track of her career, it becomes evident, almost from the first steps, that no advance can be made Without falling in with an enemy; and that war may not improperly be termed the natural state of the Romans from the infancy of their power to its maturity. It was the shutting of the Temple of Janus which threw them into momentary intervals of repose, ill suited, vol. I. Band by no means congenial to their tempers and habits.
