Product Description

The Book of the Ancient Romans is an introduction to the history and civilization of Rome from the traditional date of the founding of the city to its fall in ad 476. Miss Mills again makes history a vital thing and historians, statesmen, and poets of the ancient world living figures. She has an uncanny and unique ability to write history that is interesting and at the same time based on sound scholarship. Her direct, engaging approach is valued increasingly by the many parents in our day who are looking for reliable materials for home school study. With this book is concluded the series on the ancient world. The spirit of a nation is expressed and its history is recorded in three ways: in its political history, in its literature, and in its art. The author's aim in her two books on the Ancient Greeks and the Ancient Romans, has been to use such parts of the political history of the Greeks and Romans, of their literature, and of their art as seem to have been the outward and visible signs of the spirit that inspired them. Dawn Chorus publishes these other books by Dorothy Mills: The Book of the Ancient World; The Book of the Ancient Greeks; The People of Ancient Israel; The Middle Ages; and Renaissance and Reformation Times.

The Book of the Ancient Romans
In a delightfully organized and thorough book, D. Mills presents the reader with the life of the ancient Romans. While not so much a history book as a study of the Roman civilization, it provides the reader with hours of enjoyable time learning about the Roman culture and the legends behind the greatest civilization in the world.
