With stylistic brilliance, he chronicles nearly 400 years from the founding of Rome to the Gallic invasion in 386 BC, an era that witnessed the establishment of the Republic, unrest and brutal conflict. Bringing compelling characters to life, and re-presenting familiar tales - including the tragedy of Coriolanus and the story of Romulus and Remus - \u003ci\u003eThe Early History\u003c\/i\u003e is a truly epic work, and a passionate warning that a nation should learn from its history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTranslated by Aubrey DE Sélincourt with an Introduction by R.
