This book is a great place to start for those wishing to study the history that was Rome from geography and goverment, to people and events this gives a very good idea of Rome. though I must forworn the reader the illustrations from the book are not to be found on free kindle

This is a review of the free Kindle version.

This book was written in 1890, but does a great job of summing up Roman history, the mythical history and lots of detail in just 2,730 locations. True, the illustrations aren't there, but for free this does a very good job of providing the framework. This book covers a number of things about Rome I hadn't read before, such as the history archs in Rome (surprising number still left) and the various types of priests.

Highly recommend to any history buff.

I am still getting used to using the Kindle app. on my I-Pad 2. Having the book among others I now have is a great idea. It cuts down on television watching and increases my reading. I recommend the book and the Kindle.
