Livy's History of Rome covers the city's foundation to 9 BC in 142
Books of which only 1-10 and 21-45 survive. This is the fourth and
final volume of John Briscoe's commentary on the last fifteen
surviving Books of Livy. Books 41-45 cover the years 178-167 BC and
deal with the Third Macedonian War which lasted from 171-168 BC,
and resulted, as had been the senate's intention, in the
destruction of the Macedonian monarchy. Livy's text depends on a
single manuscript of late antiquity, which is not only considered
as highly corrupt but has also suffered substantial physical
losses.
The volume's introduction contains a discussion of the causes of
and events leading to the outbreak of war, as well as sections on
Livy's sources, the text, chronology, and Roman legions in service
during the period. Briscoe's final commentary also looks in detail
at the historical, textual, linguistic, and stylistic matters of
Livy's narrative and eschews the narratological approach of much
recent work on Livy.
