Author Description

Excerpt from An Outline History of the Roman Empire (44 B. C. To 378 A. D.) This little book is written to meet a need that I believe exists in many college mediaeval history classes. Experience in my own teaching work con vinces me that to understand the Middle Ages it is necessary to know something of the progress and fall of that great Empire whence feudal Europe issued, and no compact and practical sketch, suitable for the study of the average student, has come to hand. Hence the present outline history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
