The Lays of Ancient Rome consists of four narrative poems invoking historic episodes from Roman legends that were strongly moral in tone, exemplifying Roman virtue against Latine betrayal. They are a delightful literary adventure which allow the reader to enjoy a high point in European culture while learning some incredible details of Roman history. The first two poems describe famous conflicts which led to the creation of the Republic: the story of Horatio’s defense of the bridge over the Tiber, and the Battle of Lake Regillus. The third lay tells the story of the Plebeian uprising against their near-slave conditions, and the fourth tells of the Pyrrhic and Punic Wars. These masterpieces were so highly regarded that they were required reading in British public schools for more than a hundred years—until they were replaced by the “accessible” anti-European curricula.
