(5 étoiles; 1 critique)

The Lays of Ancient Rome are four narrative poems by the English historian and politician Thomas Babington Macaulay. Each poem tells a famous story from Rome's mythic history. Although these are original poems in English, Macaulay wrote them as if they were the works of ancient Roman bards. The Lays of Ancient Rome were immensely popular in the nineteenth century and inspired the English-speaking world by their celebration of heroic and imperial values. - Summary by Readerad (2 hr 39 min)

Poems of Famous Roman Events


(5 étoiles)

These were decent little poems about events most people who are familiar with Roman history will be aware of. The rhyme schemes were pretty basic ABA’s but told the stories well. Our reader did a fantastic job in prose and rhyme. 8/10 recommended for fans of poetry and Roman history.
