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
