Well, many are directly traceable to the "Gesta Romanorum," which, as may be deduced from the title, was a book written in the early days of the Roman empire. It means ''The Exploits of the Romans" and tells of the brave deeds and acts of the Romans. There are about two hun- dred stories in the book, though most of them are weak in incident and dramatic power.
