Roman History Julius Koch

The tradition as to the oldest period is almost without exception very late, and consequently possesses but little claim to belief. Historical composition in the true sense (for of the oldest Roman Annals we know practically nothing) was first brough by the Greeks to the sister race; but here misunderstanding and distortion of fact to adorn a tale, and often also to point a moral, have disguised the historical kernel. Воспроизведено в оригинальной авторской орфографии издания 1901 года (издательство "Aldine" House J. M. Dent"). Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Roman History (Julius Koch)
