Twelve Centuries Of Rome door G. P. Baker
Wonderfully written even if out of date in places. If all history was written so well it would be much better liked. The whole of Roman history is condensed into 535 pages. The broad sweep of development and the key personalities are well brought out. Very favorable to the Grachii.
