tailieunhanh - Ave Roma Immortalis, Vol. 1 Studies from the Chronicles of Rome

The story of Rome is the most splendid romance in all history. A few shepherds tend their flocks among volcanic hills, listening by day and night to the awful warnings of the subterranean voice,--born in danger, reared in peril, living their lives under perpetual menace of destruction, from generation to generation. Then, at last, the deep voice swells to thunder, roaring up from the earth's heart, the lightning shoots madly round the mountain top, the ground rocks, and the air is darkened with ashes. The moment has come. One man is a leader, but not all will follow him. He leads his small band swiftly. | Roma Immortalis Vol. 1 by Francis Marion Crawford 1 Roma Immortalis Vol. 1 by Francis Marion Crawford Project Gutenberg s Ave Roma Immortalis Vol. 1 by Francis Marion Crawford This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
