The Secret History of Ancient Rome

Learn about the history of ancient Rome through anecdotes and secret histories! Romulus, who grew up drinking wolf's milk, quarreled with his brother over furrows while building the city; Sabine women extinguished the flames of war with tears, but were painted as heroes by later painters; King Numa consulted with fairies late at night for advice on legislation, transforming Rome from a wolf's den into a city-state that respects rules... There are no awkward terms here, only the smoke and smoke of the Tiber River: the priests quarreled over the direction of the bird's flight, the king whipped the senator without thinking that it would overthrow the royal power, and the blood of aristocratic women became the fire of the republic. Following these anecdotes and secret histories, you will smile and understand: Rome was not built in a day, but it slowly grew into a behemoth spanning three continents amid quarrels, compromises, mistakes and even bloodshed day by day. Be prepared, this journey through time is more exciting than you imagine.
