Description
W Warde Fowler wrote a short history of Rome as number thirty in the Home University Library of Modern Knowledge, a cloth volume priced at fifty cents. Fowler had written a life of Julius Caesar and books on the city state and social life at Rome. Chapter one is an introduction. Chapter two follows the advance of Rome in Italy.
The training of the Roman character takes chapter three. The struggle with Carthage and Hannibal fills chapter four. Dominion and degeneracy follow, then the revolution in two acts. The series aimed to put sound learning in small cheap volumes. Fowler compresses a thousand years into a handbook for general readers.
