William Warde Fowler was an English historian and ornithologist, and tutor at Lincoln College, Oxford. He was best known for his works on ancient Roman religion.
A rather superficial history of the development and growth of the Rome and the Romans. Easy to read but lacking depth and detail. A decent introduction for further study.
