by William Capes
Language: English
Release Date: July 6, 2017

Before the murderers of Domitian raised their hands to strike the fatal blow, they looked around, we read, to find a successor to replace him. Others whom they sounded on the subject shrunk away in fear or in suspicion, till they thought of M. Cocceius Nerva, who was likely to fill worthily the office...

Cover of Attila the Hun
by William Herbert
Language: English
Release Date: July 25, 2017

Cover of Medieval Empire
by Herbert Fisher
Language: English
Release Date: July 10, 2017

My object is to examine the working of the imperial...

by Ierne Plunket
Language: English
Release Date: July 25, 2017

‘Ave, Roma Immortalis!’, ‘Hail, Immortal Rome!’ This cry, breaking from the lips of a race that had carried the imperial eagles from the northern shores of Europe to Asia and Africa, was no mere patriotic catchword. It was the expression of a belief that, though humanity must die and personal...
Cover of Elizabeth Empress of Austria
by George Upton

Cover of Cardinal Richelieu
by Richard Lodge
Language: English
Release Date: July 12, 2017

THE family of du Plessis has no history. For generations it had lived in provincial obscurity on the borders of Poitou.

Cover of Authors of Greece
by T.W. Lumb
Language: English
Release Date: July 26, 2017

Greek literature opens with a problem of the first magnitude. Two splendid Epics have been preserved which are ascribed to "Homer", yet few would agree that Homer wrote them both. Many authorities have denied altogether that such a person ever existed; it seems certain that he could not...
