Series Statement: Loeb classical library
Uniform Title: Ab urbe condita
Content: "Livy (Titus Livius), the great Roman historian, was born at Patavium (Padua) in 64 or 59 BC, where after years in Rome he died in AD 12 or 17. Livy's history, composed as the imperial autocracy of Augustus was replacing the republican system that had stood for over 500 years, presents in splendid style a vivid narrative of Rome's rise from the traditional foundation of the city in 753 or 751 BC to 9 BC and illustrates the collective and individual virtues necessary to achieve and maintain such greatness. Of its 142 books, conventionally divided into pentads and decads, we have 1-10 and 21-45 complete, and short summaries (periochae) of all the rest except 41 and 43-45; 11-20 are lost, and of the rest only fragments and the summaries remain."--Publisher's description
Note: "A completely new edition was ... thought to be needed, and not only of Sage's volumes but of the whole of the Loeb Livy ... This volume and the two that follow [for Livy's fourth decade] are the start of that process of replacement."--Volume 9, page vii , Parallel texts in Latin and English on opposite pages , Text translated from the Latin
