'With a single announcement from a herald, all the cities of Greece
and Asia had been set free; only an intrepid soul could formulate
such an ambitious project, only phenomenal valour and fortune bring
it to fruition. (Livy, 33. 33) Thus Livy describes the reaction to
the Roman commander T.Q. Flamininus' proclamation of the freedom of
Greece at the Isthmian games near Corinth in 196 BC. Half a century
later Greece was annexed as a province of the Romans who burned the
ancient city of Corinth to the ground. Books 31 to 40 of Livy's
history chart Rome's emergence as an imperial nation and the Romans
tempestuous involvement with Greece, Macedonia and the near East in
the opening decades of the second century BC; they are our most
important source for Graeco-Roman relations in that century. Livy's
dramatic narrative includes the Roman campaigns in Spain and
against the Gallic tribes of Northern Italy; the flight of Hannibal
from Carthage and his death in the East; the debate on the Oppian
law; and the Bacchanalian Episode. This is the only unabridged
English translation of Books 31 to 40. The complete Livy in
English, available in five volumes from Oxford World's Classics.
