"Romajin-no Monogatari (I)" by SHIONO Nanami

SHIONO Nanami is a famous Japanese writer. She lives in Italy and writing many books mainly about Italian history. One of the series of her books is this "Roma-jin no Monogatari" or 'the tales of Romans'.

I read the first book of this series whose subtitle is "Roma-ha Ichinichi-ni-shite Narazu" or 'Rome cannot be built in a day'. This contains the history from the founding of Ancient Rome in A.D. 753 to the unification of the Italy Peninsula in A.D. 270.
