Book VI of Livy's Ab urbe condita covers the history of Rome from
390 to 367 BC, a period during which the city, while in the process
of recovering from being sacked by the Gauls, faced serious civil
disturbance, the resolution of which fundamentally changed the
structure of Roman society. This edition considers the historical
text from a literary and historiographical perspective: the
Commentary contains a detailed analysis of Livy's narrative style
and structure, with particular focus on his language and use of
commonplaces, while the Introduction discusses the didactic nature
of the Ab urbe condita and situates Livy's sophisticated and
challenging work in the ancient historiographical tradition.
Special attention is paid to the role of the reader, and to the
relationship between the style and the kind of history being
written. Issues of contemporary Augustan politics are also
discussed.
