Livy Ii by Livy

A narrative of Rome’s early regal era that contrasts the peaceful, religious reforms of a law‑giving king with the martial energy of his successor and the pragmatic consolidation under a later ruler; it recounts legendary episodes such as the duel of the Horatii and Curiatii and the absorption of neighbouring Alba Longa, describes the growth of Roman institutions, rites, and civic organization, and traces how military victories and diplomatic moves extended Rome’s influence among the Latin communities.
