Author Description

Excerpt from History of Rome for Young Persons Alba Longa means the long white city, and it had been built nearly three hundred years when Romulus and Remus were born. It was the chief town of Latium, a district of Italy. We have no true history concerning it, and only know those traditions which the Latin bards used to recite in their very amusing songs.
