DESCRIPTION
“This work presents the main facts, external and internal, of the History of Rome down to the death of Tiberius. Under these two headings of external and internal the authors have sought so to arrange their facts, as to furnish a narrative on the one hand of that outward growth whereby the Roman extended his power from the narrow precincts of the Palatine Hill to the Caucasus and the Atlantic; on the other hand of that inward growth whereby the Principate appears as the natural outcome of the entire political development of the Romans.
