About This Book
Originally published in 1913, this early work on the fall of the Roman Empire is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Its 511 pages contain 25 detailed chapters full of information and anecdote on a variety of events between 50-47 BCE. Aiming to present the Pagan point of view with regards the life and literature of this great age, great care was taken by the author to keep to strict historical probability. A comprehensive and informative look at the subject that is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the shelf of any amateur or professional historian of the age. Contents:...
