 ==The original text==
-The story told by both the play and the novel begins in Rome in 1900 at the fictional Pope Pius X's jubilee celebrations, at the height of the dispute between the Vatican and the Italian state on the temporal power of the Church. David Rossi, a socialist and republican is accused of conspiring to assassinate the Italian king. He opposes Baron Bonelli, a corrupt prime minister. Bonelli tries to prevent the culmination of the love story between his mistress Donna Roma Volonna and Rossi.
+A story of romance and intrigue that begins in Rome in 1900, it was the only work by Caine first '''conceived''' as a play, though the first published version of the tale was a serialised novel, that appeared in ''The Lady's Magazine'', London, and ''Collier's Weekly'', New York, in 1901.  Published in book form by Heineman in the same year, it became his greatest commercial success and the first novel to sell over a million copies worldwide.
 Caine's own stage adaptation opened at His Majesty's Theatre, London on 2 October 1902, produced by actor-manager Herbert Beerbohm Tree, with incidental music by Italian composer Pietro Mascagni (1863-1945). The American production opened on 17 November, at the Victoria Theatre, New York City, with Caine supervising the rehearsals. By the end of 1903 six companies were performing ''[[The Eternal City]]'', in England, USA, Australia and South Africa.
