 bolchazy.com: Latin — Rome and Her Kings — Livy I: Graded Selection
The text consists of 610 lines of Livian text, adapted and arranged to grow in difficulty as the student reads on.
The story starts with the fall of Troy and goes on to include some golden oldies — Romulus and Remus, the Sabine women, the Horatii and Curiatii, Ancus Martius and Tarquinius Priscus, Servius Tullus, Tarquinius Superbus.
Since the original was published in 1920, the vocabulary and notes are at the rear and not facing, but this minor inconvenience is offset by the fact that this is a graded reader, a concept which has fallen out of favor.

 Ashby 1912
No doubt its real origin is connected with the salt marshes which have lain round the Tiber mouth from prehistoric days till 40 years ago and with the oldest of Roman roads, the Saltway (Via Salaria), which ran inland from them.
Probably it was a successor of an older town, Ficana, which stood a little further inland, at the eleventh milestone from Rome on the Via Ostiensis according to Festus, and according to modern writers on a little hill which rises sixty feet above the river and is crowned with the modern farmhouse of Dragoncello.
A cult of Mars Ficanus, which can be traced at Ostia,(1) seems to imply that Ostia was regarded as the heir to Ficana, when that, according to the legend, had been destroyed by Ancus Martius.

On the Campus Martius and beyond the Tiber, at the foot of the Janiculan, new and populous quarters sprang up with theatres (those of Pompey and of Marcellus) and circuses (the Maximus and the Flaminius, 221
