Taken from the author’s lectures, this volume maintains a critical approach to the origins and appreciation of Roman history and its direct indebtedness to its Greek roots. To substantiate his interpretation, Pais delves into Roman excavations, Pompeian frescos, ancient legends, and myths of Rome’s origins and cults as well as topography of early Rome.
