He also describes the political and social institutions of Rome, including the Roman Senate and the Roman army.Livy's writing style is engaging and vivid, making the book an enjoyable read for anyone interested in ancient history. The History of Rome V1 is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Roman history, as well as for anyone interested in the origins of Western civilization.To begin with, it is generally admitted that after the capture of Troy, whilst the rest of the Trojans were massacred, against two of them-Aeneas and Antenor -the Achivi refused to exercise the rights of war, partly owing to old ties of hospitality, and partly because these men had always been in favour of making peace and surrendering Helen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
