About The Book: Thomas Babington Macaulay's *Lays of Ancient Rome* (1842) is a collection of narrative poems celebrating legendary episodes from early Roman history. Written in a vivid, heroic style, the poems—such as “Horatius,” “The Battle of Lake Regillus,” and “Virginia”—recreate Roman valor, patriotism, and civic duty. Macaulay aimed to make ancient legends accessible and inspiring to modern readers, blending historical imagination with rhythmic storytelling. The work became popular in Victorian England for its moral lessons and stirring depiction of Roman heroism.
