The Book of the Ancient Romans

Dorothy Mills' classic history text, originally written in the 1920s for middle-school students, covers over 1,200 years of Roman history, beginning with Romulus and Remus and progressing through the monarchy, the republic, and the empire. Along with historical events, the book addresses Roman culture, political systems, and religion, and includes quotes from great classical historians such as Herodotus and Cicero to prepare students for primary sources in high school. The Memoria Press Second Edition features many illustrations of famous places and battles, busts of famous Romans, and maps of the Roman world.
