Summary "Stories From Livy" by Alfred John Church is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book adapts the classic Roman historian Livy's narratives, retelling the foundational myths and early history of Rome, including figures such as Romulus, Numa Pompilius, and the heroic struggles for power and justice. The text aims to make these ancient tales accessible while preserving their dramatic essence. At the start of the narrative, the story unfolds with the origins of Rome, beginning with Æneas's arrival in Italy and the subsequent founding of Lavinium and Alba Longa. Key figures introduced include Romulus and his brother Remus, who after surviving treachery and hardship, ultimately establish Rome. The opening chapters detail the brothers' conflict over the city's naming, culminating in Remus's tragic death, and examine the rise of Romulus as king. The text captures themes of loyalty, power struggles, and the divine providence that molds Rome's destiny—a backdrop propelling the unfolding saga as the city grows amidst challenges and triumphs.
