In this comprehensive and clearly written account, Gary Forsythe draws extensively from historical, archaeological, linguistic, epigraphic, religious, and legal evidence as he traces Rome's early development within a multicultural environment of Latins, Sabines, Etruscans, Greeks, and Phoenicians. 607 $aRome$xHistory$yTo 510 B.C 607 $aRome$xHistory$yRepublic, 510-265 B.C 676 $a937 700 $aForsythe$b Gary$0265939 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811161903321 996 $aA critical history of early Rome$94062254 997 $aUNINA
