Description

Three things come together in the story of Horatius at the Bridge, as written by Thomas Babington Macaulay. There is Macaulay himself, his society of Victorian Britain, and the early history of ancient Rome. Macaulay also tossed off what he called a "trifle", the Lays of Ancient Rome. These were stories in poetry of the early period of Rome, a time when the Romans had no written literature but a rich art of oral ballads, half-spoken, half-sung, that told the history of their heroes and ancestors.Each student exercises includes: Progeny Press
