Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sources for Roman History, B. C. 133-70
We have divided the events of each year into those of its internal and external history. The sections which deal with domestic events will probably be found to be more complete, and therefore more valuable, than those which deal with foreign issues. The sacrifice of the details of domestic policy to personal anecdote and military history is a characteristic of most of the authors on whom we have had to rely. In particular, the legislation of any portion of this period has usually to be pieced together from a number of scattered fragments. We have, therefore, tried to make the portion of our work which deals with internal history, as complete as possible, while we were unable to present the details of campaigns and battles without making the book exceed the limits which we thought necessary to its utility. References, however, have always been given to passages which could not be cited in full. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
