Roman History

Julius Koch

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The attempt to derive from the name of the city Of Rome certain conclusions as to its origin has been unsuccessful; those who would connect the word Roma with the name of the primitive river-god Ramon perhaps approach nearest to the truth, for the navigable stream was naturally the most important factor for the settlement on the Tiber, and Old Roman coins actually exhibit to us as stamp the stern of a ship, which we therefore may regard as the city's first escutcheon.
