As long as there was plenty of work and wages were high, the majority of the citizens were quite contented, allowed their "betters" to rule them and asked no embarrassing questions. But when no ships left the harbor, when no ore was brought to the smelting-ovens, when dockworkers and stevedores were thrown out of employment, then there were grumblings and there was a demand that the popular assembly be called together as in the olden days when Carthage had been a self-governing republic.

高中时候读的，跟教科书一比对比真是强烈；细节很丰富，但多多少少觉得其实只是一本儿童读物。

应该叫做欧洲人的故事或者欧洲通史，不过看到成书年代也就释然了。
