This is a 1907 antique history set—four matching volumes from The Historians’ History of the World, focused on the Roman world from Greece’s rise through the Republic, the Early Empire, and the Late Empire.

If you love old-school narrative history, this reads like a long, immersive walk through invasions, emperors, power shifts, and the slow turning of eras.

Inside you’ll find many maps and illustrations, plus that satisfying early-1900s reference-book feel (serious, detailed, and made to last).

About the Author: Henry Smith Williams 

Henry Smith Williams was an early-20th-century editor and writer who helped shape big, ambitious reference projects for general readers—books meant to make “world history” feel readable at home, not locked in a university.


If Rome is your era, this quartet is a seriously handsome way to live with it.
