These 3 titles are from a collection of 5 parts published in 1588 by Gillios (or Gilles) on the history of Rome and Roman antiquities. They were published simultaneously and either sold separately or all 5 together (and bound in 1 or 2 volumes as the total for the 5 parts is over 1,200 pages). These 3 volumes are, in order, Part I, Part V, and Part IV. The two parts not present are both on Roman politics and government. See Adams P201 delineating the 5 parts and also noting a copy bound with Parts III and V only. Cicognara 3817-3818.
