Description
Rome's foundation to 9 BC. This is the first part of Livy's history of Rome, covering the city's early years from its founding to the reign of Emperor Augustus. Livy's work is based on his own research and writing, with only a portion of it surviving in its entirety. The remaining books are summarized or contain fragments, while some parts have been lost forever. Despite these limitations, Livy presents a vivid narrative of Rome's rise to greatness, drawing on his broad sympathies for the city. The Loeb Classical Library edition of this work is presented in fourteen volumes, with the final volume including a comprehensive index.
