2. 2. Römische Geschichte 1

   

   A sweeping narrative of Rome’s legendary origins and earliest institutions, tracing the Trojan survivor who becomes the progenitor of a people, the city’s violent foundation by its first king and the fraternal murder that follows, the abduction of the Sabine women and their mediation, and the succession of early monarchs whose deeds range from pious lawgiving to aggressive conquest. The account sketches Numa’s religious and legal reforms, the bellicose expansion under Tullus Hostilius, Ancus Marcius’s consolidation, and the social and constitutional developments attributed to the later Tarquin kings, culminating in the outrage of Lucretia’s rape, her tragic suicide, the popular uprising that expels the monarchy, and the establishment of the Republic with its first consuls. Interwoven are moralizing anecdotes and exempla that illustrate emerging Roman virtues and vices while explaining the origins of key customs, offices, and early conflicts with neighboring Latin and Etruscan peoples.
