DESCRIPTION:
Livy history of Rome Condition new.I found the answer I was looking for schoolI have found Loeb library books the best on theMarket.
The whole work was, long after his death, divided into Decades or series of ten. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Livy is in fourteen volumes. The last volume includes a comprehensive index.. Of its 142 books, we have just 35, and short summaries of all the rest except two. Livy (Titus Livius), the great Roman historian, was born at or near Patavium (Padua) in 64 or 59 BCE; he may have lived mostly in Rome but died at Patavium, in 12 or 17 CE. In splendid style Livy, a man of wide sympathies and proud of Rome's past, presented an uncritical but clear and living narrative of the rise of Rome to greatness. Books 1–10 we have entire; books 11–20 are lost; books 21–45 are entire, except parts of 41 and 43–45. Livy's only extant work is part of his history of Rome from the foundation of the city to 9 BCE. Of the rest only fragments and the summaries remain
