Summary

"A Study of the Topography and Municipal History of Praeneste" by Ralph Van Deman Magoffin is a detailed examination of an ancient city, focusing on its land, structures, and place in history. The story begins by painting a picture of Praeneste's location on a mountain, rich with resources and strong defenses. This sets the stage to explore the city's rise and the part it played with the Latin League, and also its conflicts with Rome. Through looking at Praeneste's geography and its story, the work prepares to tell of the city's life and government in ancient times.
