I would modify my review to 5 stars

I haven’t read much of Roman history and I learned how Rome got its name, how it was built and how it grew from this book; but what truly did interest me is the story about Rome’s political development.

Great Ancient History

Although this book covers an amazing span of time, it doesn't feel disjointed as so many world or ancient history books do. It was also refreshing to see an actual.
