"Famous Men of Rome" features twenty-nine stories covering the history of Rome from its founding to the last emperor. You will read about the lives of Horatius, Camillus, Caesar, Cicero, and many others. The biographies of Famous Men of Rome are in chronological order and the whole book will bring you through the three stages of Ancient Rome: monarchy, republic, and empire. Although women are not the "famous" individuals listed in the book, the notable women of the time definitely play roles in the stories. Famous Men of Rome is faithful to this vision of learning history through biography. The chapters cover eleven centuries, from the legendary founding of Rome to its slow, unraveling in the early centuries after Christ. Each chapter is a fascinating read.
