Author Description

Excerpt from History of Rome Italy at present is bounded on the north by the Alps. But in the year 753 before the birth of Christ, when Rome was founded, the great plain between the Alps and the Apennines, which we now call Lombardy, belonged to the Gauls, and was called Gallia. Also, on the west coast between the Apennines and the river Tiber, lived the Etruscans, who were the greatest people in the peninsula at that time. The land which they lived in is still called Tuscany after them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
