Books 38-40 of Livy's History of Rome cover the years 189-179 BC.
They contain two famous and much-discussed episodes: the trials of
the Scipios, and the so-called Bacchanalian conspiracy. Other
notable matters described are the end of the war with the Aetolian
League and Manlius Vulso's campaign in Asia Minor, the censorship
of the elder Cato, and the fatal quarrel in the Macedonian royal
house. This commentary, conceived on the same scale as Briscoe's
earlier commentaries on Books 31-33 and 34-37, aims to elucidate
historical, literary, textual, and linguistic aspects of Livy's
narrative. When Polybius, Livy's main source for events in the
Hellenistic world, full references to the relevant passages of the
former are given, with citation of the opening and closing words. A
substantial Introduction discusses sources and methods of
composition, language and style, the manuscripts, the calendar and
chronology, Roman policy in northern Italy, and the Roman legions
of the period.
