About this book

Characters and Events of Roman History is the 1909 American volume of lectures by Guglielmo Ferrero (1871-1942), the Italian historian whose Greatness and Decline of Rome made him an international celebrity. Delivered as the Lowell Institute lectures in Boston and published by Putnam, the chapters treat Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Nero, and the social currents of the late Republic with the modern, almost journalistic analysis that made Ferrero famous and orthodox classicists uneasy. Ferrero later defied Mussolini and finished his career in Swiss exile. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
