Excerpt from Ancient and Modern Rome
Such a conception has no foundation in truth. The institutions were indeed excellent, but the men were not different from us physically and morally, except perhaps as regards the athletic training of the body. As a matter of fact there was the same struggle for life, the same craving for amusements and the same politi cal unrest; the same habit of depending upon the Government for food and clothing; and, strange to say, the same percentage in the number of publicans as compared with the total population.
