Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the little-known history and significance of Alba Longa, an ancient city that played a pivotal role in Roman history. Initially thought to be a legend, recent archaeological discoveries have corroborated many details of its existence and importance. The book includes a detailed map of the region, illustrating the city's prominent position on the slopes of Monte Cavo and its proximity to Rome. The author argues that Alba Longa's geographic location and strategic alliances made it a powerful force in the region and a precursor to the rise of Rome itself. The book also examines the city's demise and legacy, providing insights into the political dynamics and military conflicts that shaped ancient Italy. By delving into the history of Alba Longa, the book sheds light on the origins of Roman civilization and the interplay of myth and reality in our understanding of the past.
