Guerber's beloved Ancient Roman History, updated with over 30 classic works of art!

Master storyteller and historian Helene Guerber makes ancient history come alive with this classic series of short and engaging stories. First published for young readers in 1896, this living book has remained a favorite for readers of all ages interested in classical literature, philosophy and history, for over a century.

Readers will encounter the myths and legends of early Rome, from Aeneas and the Trojans, from the rise of the Republic through the fall of the Empire. We meet gods and heroes, statesmen and warriors, triumvirates and emperors. Guerber writes not just of events but of the character of those we meet: Romulus and Remus, Tarquin, Brutus, Cincinnatus, Pompey, Caesar, Cleopatra, Marcus Aurelius and more.

Ms. Guerber's historical accounts are brought to life with full color paintings from Jacques-Louis David, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Jean-Léon Gérôme and more. As with all Nourished Upon Ideas titles, this edition carefully preserves the author's complete and unabridged text, and artwork has been carefully selected to be suitable for all ages.
