Livy is a popular author in schools and universities in all areas
of the English speaking world. The more popular books studied are
those which recount the early history of Rome and the more
noteworthy events of the Second Punic War; but there is a good case
for examining the Romans' attitudes in the early years of their
involvement in Greece and Asia, for these are crucial for an
understanding of the development of Roman imperialism. The period
covered by these five books, from the war against Antiochus the
Great to the death of Philip V of Macedon, is of increasing
interest to students of Hellenistic Greece and Roman imperialism,
and should therefore increasingly interest university departments
and Examination Boards seeking to break away from the conventional
choices of the first and third decades. This is the only modern
edition in English of these books.XXXVII (191189 BC) This war with
Antiochus and its outcome signalled the beginning of Roman
influence in Asia and the eventual expansion of her empire to the
Euphrates. The details of the naval operations in the Aegean and
the land-fighting are contained in this book, together with the
preliminary settlement which preceded the formal terms of peace
declared at Apamea.Latin text with facing translation, notes and
commentary.
