The Old Roman World is a historical book written by John Lord that explores ancient Rome and its impact on the world. The book covers the origins of Rome, its political and social structures, and its eventual decline. It also delves into the lives of famous Roman figures such as Julius Caesar, Augustus, and Nero. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Roman culture, including religion, art, and literature. Lord analyzes the influence of Rome on Western civilization and how its legacy continues to shape modern society. Overall, The Old Roman World is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in ancient history and the impact of classical civilizations on the modern world.Whatever may be said of the inferiority of the ancients to the moderns in natural and mechanical science, which no one is disposed to question, or even in the realm of literature, which can be questioned, there was one department which they carried to absolute perfection, and to which we have added nothing of consequence. In the realm of art they were our equals, and probably our superiors; in philosophy they carried logical deductions to their utmost limit. They created the science. They advanced, from a few crude speculations on material phenomena, to an analysis of all the powers of the mind, and finally to the establishment of ethical principles which even Christianity did not overturn.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
