Description
Book SynopsisLivy''s 142-volume history of Rome is one of the high points of ancient historical writing; but three-quarters of that history is lost, known only from indirect sources such as epitomes and quotations. D. S. Levene''s Livy: The Fragments and Periochae provides a text, translation, and commentary on all of the surviving ''para-Livian'' material from antiquity. This includes the various epitomes and ''fragments'' (quotations from or references to the lost books), but it also covers citations from the surviving books and all testimonia to Livy''s life, work, and readership between his death in A.D. 17 and the end of classical antiquity (approximately A.D. 650).
