Ancient Rome
«The character of ancient Rome is hidden in an inevitable misunderstanding, wrapped up in the expression ‘history of Rome’. There are no uncertainties or ambiguities if we say the ’history of Paris’ or of London, or of any other city in the world. Yet if we say ‘history of Rome’ we don’t know exactly which account we are referring to: whether it is that of the city in the strict sense of the word, or also of that conspicuous part of the earth’s land and population that for many centuries lived under the city’s dominion.»
