Скачать или смотреть Rome's first major conquest took place only a few miles away: History of Rome by Livy, Day 27

Rome would go on to conquer much of Europe, Africa and the Middle East, but its first major conquest took place only a few miles away from the city itself.

I'm reading the History of Rome by Livy each day and talking about what interests me most. This is day 29.

It involves the Battle of Veii, one of the most notable of Rome's earliest military actions.

One of the heroes of Rome, Marcus Furius Camillus makes his first appearance here. He's going to be showing up in later episodes, too. So take note of that.

Keep in mind that modern day historians doubt many of Livy's accounts, because they often appear to incorporate legends into the telling of history. So take his telling with a grain of salt.
