PROLOGUE
ROME WAS THE FIRST great city of the West. Upon the banks of the Tiber she has sat for longer than human memory. From her founding she has grown to greatness, the first great city not only in chronology, but also the First City in the sense that Rome was for a great time prince of all the known world.
She has been known by many names: Rome the Eternal, Rome the Capital, the Imperial City, the place where all roads lead. She has sprouted great philosophers and artists, generals and politicians, consuls, kings, popes, and emperors. She has hosted great legions and famous games, imposing defenses and mighty temples.
But our tale does not begin there. Instead, we go from a small outpost of her mighty empire--one as eternal as the city itself--and follow the roads, inevitably, to Rome. And although we may then leave, we shall always go back, returning to the First City of Italy, Europe, and all the world.
