The History of Rome Book II is a comprehensive historical account of the ancient Roman civilization, written by the renowned German historian, Theodor Mommsen. The book covers the period from the founding of Rome in 753 BC to the end of the monarchy in 509 BC. Mommsen's work is widely regarded as one of the most authoritative and insightful accounts of ancient Rome, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Western civilization.The book begins with a detailed account of the legendary founding of Rome by Romulus and Remus, and goes on to describe the early years of the city-state, including its social and political organization, its system of government, and its relations with neighboring tribes. Mommsen then delves into the early wars and conflicts that shaped Rome's early history, including its struggles with the Etruscans, the Sabines, and other neighboring peoples.Throughout the book, Mommsen provides a vivid and engaging narrative of Rome's rise to power, including its military conquests and political achievements. He also explores the social and cultural developments that shaped Roman society, including its religion, art, and literature.Overall, The History of Rome Book II is a fascinating and informative account of one of the most important civilizations in world history. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Rome, ancient history, or the development of Western civilization.But the subjugation, with which the coalition of the Etruscan and Carthaginian nations had threatened both Greeks and Italians, was fortunately averted by the combination of peoples drawn towards each other by family affinity as well as by common peril. The Etruscan army, which after the fall of Rome had penetrated into Latium, had its victorious career checked in the first instance before the walls of Aricia by the well-timed intervention of the Cumaeans who had hastened to the succour of the Aricines (248).This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
