Description
Rome's story begins with Livy's history, a sweeping narrative of the city's rise to greatness. Written in the 1st century BC, this work is the only surviving part of Livy's vast project, which spanned over 142 books. The Loeb Classical Library edition presents a comprehensive account of Rome's early years, from its foundation to 9 BC. Livy's work is notable for its clear and living narrative, despite being written without critical bias. The surviving books, including the entire first decade and parts of the following ones, offer a vivid portrayal of Rome's growth and development. This edition, in fourteen volumes, includes a comprehensive index to aid in further study. For readers interested in ancient Roman history, this edition of Livy's history provides a valuable insight into the city's formative years.
