The Early History of Rome

By Livy. The first five books of Livy's monumental history of Rome record events from the foundation of Rome through the history of the seven kings, the establishment of the Republic and its internal struggles, up to Rome's recovery after the fierce Gallic invasion of the 4th century BC. Livy vividly depicts the great characters, legends, and tales, including the story of Romulus and Remus. A fantastic resource and a classical work in its own right. P/B 424pp.
