One of the most famous epic poems of the Victorian era, The Lays of Ancient Rome is a stirring teacher of Roman history, and of the virtues of courage, sacrifice, and determination. It was set reading in british public schools for more than a hundred years, where it was immensely popular with students for its action, verve, and heroic adventure. More recently, The Lays of Ancient Rome was excerpted in William Bennett's Book of Virtues. This Gateway paperback is the only edition currently in print.

About the Author
Thomas Babington Macaulay, the great historian of England, was born at Rothley, near Leicester, in 1800, and was named Thomas Babington after his uncle. Macaulay was a member of Parliament first for Colne, then for Leeds. In 1842 he gave to the world his spirited "Lays of Ancient Rome." Lord Macaulay excelled as a poet and essayist, but he is chiefly illustrious as a historian. During later years his health made work increasingly difficult for him. He died in December 1859 at the age of 59.
