An epic endeavor by a man genuinely enamored of his native Rome,
Livy's "The History of Rome" was originally written in 142 books
spanning the entire history of the Roman people up to Livy's day in
the time of Augustus in the first century BC. While this Roman
historian's monumental undertaking took most of his life, only 35
books still survive today. Livy begins with Aeneas' landing on
Italy and the myth of Romulus and Remus' founding of Rome. He also
thoroughly covers numerous wars, such as the Samnite Wars, the
Punic Wars, and the Social War, as well as all of the rulers of
Rome, including Julius Caesar, Nero, and Augustus. Though the work
is a bit biased, its countless references to other sources are a
testament of Livy's attempt to create an accurate, understandable
history of the Roman Kingdom, and, later, the Republic.
Simultaneously a glorification of Rome and a passionate warning to
future Romans, "Ab Urbe Condita" reflects the magnificence and
ignominy, the opinions and interests, and the myths and political
realities of one of history's most remarkable civilizations. In
this volume you will find books I-VIII of Livy's "Histories."
