Lectures on Roman History is a thoughtful and accurate account of the rise and fall of the Romans by a scholar who was also a political thinker and a statesman, and one who understood the forces in history and the vectors that compete toward a final resultant. There is no glib rhetoric here, no partisan account of events. One is swept into an exciting story, told by an expereinced, well-informed narrator. History is story-telling, and Professor Paolucci was a master. His seemingly casual references to contemporary events and personalities added immediacy to the subject: history is seen not only as a continuum but as a vital lesson for the future.
"The material offered here is based on extensive, often verbatim notes by two students, Mr. George Bock and Mrs. Helen Mann, who were students in the course on Roman history offered at The City College of New York, in 1959"--P. viii.
