{ "item_title" : "The Epic of Rome Volume II the Seven Kings of Rome", "item_author" : [" Sergio Coltellacci", "Sergio Coltellacci", "Auxiliadora Castillo "], "item_description" : "Before Rome conquered the world, it had to learn how to govern itself. For two hundred forty-four years, seven very different kings took a vulnerable village beside the Tiber and turned it into a city that was strong, united and aware of its destiny. Each one laid a stone. Some with wisdom, others with strength... and the last with an arrogance that changed history forever. In these pages you will journey through: - Romulus, the founder: the sacred furrow around the Palatine, the abduction of the Sabine women and the birth of the Senate.- Numa Pompilius, the king of peace: the sacred laws, the calendar and the Vestal Virgins.- Tullus Hostilius, the return of warrior Rome: the duel of the Horatii and the Curiatii and the fall of Alba Longa.- Ancus Marcius, the builder king: the road to the sea, the port of Ostia and the first bridge over the Tiber.- Tarquinius Priscus, the Etruscan king: the great works, the Circus Maximus and the temple of Jupiter.- Servius Tullius, the reformer king: the census, the centuries and a city organized for the first time.- Tarquinius Superbus, the last king: fear as a way of ruling and the tragedy of Lucretia.- How the Romans lived: the society, economy, religion and army of the monarchy.- The birth of the Republic: the oath of Brutus, Horatius Cocles at the bridge, Mucius Scaevola and Cloelia facing Porsena. THE LEGACY ROME LEAVES USAt the end of every chapter, a special section gathers the lessons in leadership, discipline and character that each king left to his people... lessons still alive today for those who know how to read them.
