'T.J Cornell's synthesis of early Roman history has some great virtues: it is learned, up-to-date and readable.' – London Review of Books'Cornell's lucid review of what we know of early Rome (to 264 BC) is excellent value ... The book is warmly recommended.' – JACT Review'Cornell's is the most authoritative study of early Roman history to have been written by a single author since Beloch's Romanische Geschichte of 1926. The Beginnings of Rome is an authoritative, important, and timely book from which we are all benefiting, and from which much subsequent study of early Rome will start.' – The Classical Review
