Excerpt from History of Rome
The profound researches of Niebuhr in his History of Rome, have traced out the course which has been mainly followed in the early part of this history. But it has not been purposed to represent all the views and opinions of Niebuhr. His authorities have been consulted, his arguments weighed, and in every case an independent judgment has been exercised. It is right to mention, that, where the passages cited by Niebuhr have been accessible, the references have been made immediately to the original authors; and the number of references thus borrowed is very great. Where his citations have not been verified, the reader has been referred to his own work. The references are made to the translation of the Second Edition of Vol. I. by Messrs. Hare and Thirlwall, Cambridge, 1828.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the legendary origins and the earliest centuries of Rome. It draws on archaeological, literary, and epigraphic evidence, with particular attention to traditions recorded in the works of Roman historians from the late Republic and early Empire, such as Livy and Dionysius of Halicarnassus. The author argues that these traditions contain a kernel of historical truth, and that by careful analysis, we can reconstruct a plausible account of Rome's foundation and early development. The book places this history within the broader context of the rise of civilization in Italy, and the development of Etruscan and Greek culture. It explores the social, political, and religious institutions of early Rome, and discusses the impact of Rome's military conquests on its development. This book offers a fresh perspective on the origins of Rome, and challenges many of the traditional assumptions about this period. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Rome, or in the development of civilization in the Mediterranean region. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332434312_0
