4.9/5 (18764 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from America in Ferment A roman historian relates that in the reign of Tarquinius Superbus workmen digging the foundations for a temple to Jupiter discovered a mysterious human head which they forthwith carried before the augurs, who interpreted the omen to mean that Rome would one day be the head of the world. The anecdote is doubtless apocryphal, and yet it is certain that the Roman people early became convinced that a mighty future lay before them. Without such a conviction it is improbable that a community first composed of a few peasants and outlaws gathered upon those low hills beside the Tiber would ever have played so mighty a part in history. Conquest was the ruling passion of the Roman's life, bred into his bones and imbibed with his mother's milk. Other peoples whose deeds are remembered have likewise had a definite purpose.
