This book is part of a reading list by online Roman History group. They will be discussing the chapters 11 and on in January. They have already discussed chapters 1 through 10, so I have a lot of catch up to do. The first chapter is on the various sources used by Roman historians. So far so interesting.

This comprehensive text correlates a lot of archaeological evidence from Italy with the semi-legendary accounts of the classical sources; by the 11th chapter (Decemvirate) you would have covered some 300 years of Roman history, like the first three books of Livy. You may find some good complementary material here at UNRV (like the section on the XII tables). Any analysis or commentary posted by you would be welcomed. Good luck and merry Mithras!
