Ancient Rome: Streams of History
Ancient Rome: Streams of History narratively presents the geography of Italy and the life of Rome. This reprint of a 1902 edition by Ellwood Kemp describes three different periods of Rome’s growth:
- Rome’s Infancy
- Rome’s Strong Manhood
- Rome’s Old Age
The writing relates how Rome in her early years established herself in Italy, then engaged in conflict with Carthage, her most powerful neighbor and enemy.
It shows how Rome finally extended her power all around the Mediterranean, giving to the world peace, law and order, and making unconsciously a highway both for Greek culture and for Christianity to spread to the West.
