In this engaging scholarly work, historian Wilhelm Ihne explores the fascinating early history of Rome, tracing its journey from legendary founders and kings to the establishment of the Republic and the dramatic invasion by the Gauls in 390 B.C. Ihne poignantly states, No great state known to history can be traced to such a small beginning as Rome.
