tailieunhanh - Historic Tales, Volume 11 (of 15)

Very far back in time, more than twenty-six hundred years ago, on the banks of a small Italian river, known as the Tiber, were laid the foundations of a city which was in time to become the conqueror of the civilized world. Of the early days of this renowned city of Rome we know very little. What is called its history is really only legend,--stories invented by poets, or ancient facts which became gradually changed into romances. The Romans believed them, but that is no reason why we should. They believed many things which we doubt. And yet these romantic stories are the only existing. | Tales Volume 11 of 15 by Charles Morris 1 Tales Volume 11 of 15 by Charles Morris Project Gutenberg s Historic Tales Volume 11 of 15 by Charles Morris This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
