“The first volume of the six volumes in which Dr. Greenidge plans to compress his history covers some twenty-nine years, from the time of Tiberius Gracchus to the consulship of Marius, B. C. 133 to 104.... In that short period occurred the two agrarian movements, led by Tiberius Gracchus, and, ten years later, by Caius Gracchus, and the Jugurthine war.”—N. Y. Times.
“It will appeal strongly to the general reader ... but it is addressed also to the scholar, as based on the original sources and presenting the results in accordance with the most advanced ideals of history writing.” Joseph H. Drake.

“It may be said at once that Dr. Greenidge revivifies Rome, which had been reduced to the deadness of classicality. He creates the Eternal city in the sixth century of its existence, and with exactness and grace shows us its life, its politics, the causes of its troubles, how it met them, and what the final issue was.”
