First sentence: LET us roll back the curtain of partisan bitterness which has veiled for eighteen centuries the real history of the first ten decades of our era, and essay to construct upon the remains of ruined temples, works of art, the broken and defaced monuments, perverted and interpolated records-the only unimpeachable heritage we possess of this past age-a panorama of the geographic and historic events of that portion of the Roman empire lying around and adjacent to the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
