Excerpt from Rome and the Early Christians: Being Letters of Lucius M. Piso, From Rome to Fausta the Daughter of Gracchus at Palmyra My object is an humbler, but perhaps also a more useful one. It is to collect and arrange, in their proper order, such of the letters of the most noble lucius manlius piso as shall throw most light upon his character and times, supplying all defects of incident, and filling up all chasms that may occur, out of the knowledge Which, more exactly than any one else, I have been able to gather concerning all that relates to the distinguished family of the Pisos, after its connection with the more distinguished one still of the Queen of Palmyra.
