Discover the epic journey through the heart of ancient Rome in 'History of Rome' by Titus Livius. A monumental endeavor by a man profoundly in love with his beloved Rome, this timeless work transports you back to the grandeur and drama of one of the world’s most extraordinary civilizations.

Originally penned in a staggering 142 books, this historic masterpiece spans the entire saga of Rome, chronicling the city’s origins from the mythical Aeneas to the awe-inspiring days of Augustus in the first century BC. While time has claimed the majority of Livy’s opus, 35 books remain, offering an unparalleled glimpse into Rome’s legendary past.

Livy’s narrative commences with Aeneas’ fabled arrival in Italy and the legendary tale of Romulus and Remus founding the Eternal City. It takes you on a captivating journey through the tumultuous Samnite Wars, the harrowing Punic Wars, and the gripping Social War. Along the way, you’ll encounter the most illustrious and notorious figures in Roman history, from Julius Caesar to Nero, and the inimitable Augustus.

Though Livy’s work reflects a certain bias, his dedication to crafting an accurate and comprehensible historical account is evident through his countless references to other sources. 'Ab Urbe Condita' stands as a testament to Livy’s unwavering commitment to capturing the essence of the Roman Kingdom and the Republic, complete with its myths, politics, and societal realities.

Simultaneously a celebration of Rome’s magnificence and a fervent cautionary tale for future generations, 'History of Rome' is a profound reflection on the opulence and flaws, ideals and intrigues, that defined one of history’s most remarkable civilizations.

In this meticulously curated volume, you’ll embark on a mesmerizing journey through the first eight books of Livy’s 'Histories,' laying the foundation for a compelling exploration of Rome’s enduring legacy.
