Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of Tibur, Historical, Literary and Epigraphical, From the Earliest Times to the Close of the Roman Empire: A Dissertation Submitted to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University in Conformity With Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Tibur, the modern Tivoli, stood on the edge of the Sabine hills, high above the Roman Cammgna. From the earliest times the place was occupied as a stronghold, because it commanded the plain below, and because it controlled the entrance to the valley of the Anio. This situa tion, so important because of its strength, came in the course of time to be equally attractive because of its beauty; and the fame of the town ff Md its surrounding hills has been unbroken down to our own day.
