Journey through the different phases of Rome's development, from its early days as a Kingdom, through its dynamic period as a Republic, and finally into its expansive era as an Empire in this fascinating history of Ancient Rome.

Eva March Tappan offers a vivid, approachable introduction to Roman history, tailored especially for beginners and young readers. Meticulously chronicling Rome's transformation over centuries, this book begins with the legendary foundation of the city by Romulus and Remus, moving through its development as a Kingdom under early Roman kings, and detailing its rise as a powerful Republic known for its civic institutions, military prowess, and famous statesmen like Julius Caesar and Cicero. Tappan further guides readers through the complexities of Rome's transition from Republic to Empire, highlighting the reigns of influential emperors such as Augustus, Nero, and Constantine, and depicting the vast territorial expansions and monumental achievements of the Roman civilisation.

The Story of the Roman People: A Beginner's Journey Through Rome's Rich History is not only informative but also a delightful read for young historians and anyone interested in the foundations of Western civilisation.
