"A Smaller History of Rome" by William Smith and Eugene Lawrence is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The text aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Roman history, from its earliest times to the establishment of the empire, including significant political events and cultural developments. It serves as an educational resource, particularly designed for students, and is structured as a manual for those seeking an accessible introduction to Roman history. The opening of the work delves into the geography of Italy and its early inhabitants. It meticulously describes the various regions, such as Etruria, Umbrium, and Latium, outlining their boundaries, natural features, and the peoples who occupied them. This foundational context sets the stage for understanding the emergence of Rome and its interactions with other cultures, such as the Greeks and Gauls, providing essential background for the subsequent chapters that will trace the evolution of Roman society and governance.
