About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of History of Rome from the Earliest times down to 476 AD by Robert F. Pennell. Read in English by KK; DJRickyV History of Rome from the Earliest times down to 476 AD. This compilation is designed to be a companion to the author's History of Greece. It is hoped that it may fill a want, now felt in many high schools and academies, of a short and clear statement of the rise and fall of Rome, with a biography of her chief men, and an outline of her institutions, manners, and religion. (Summary by Tony_Ritcherson)
