The History of Rome, Books 01 to 08 by Livy

"The History of Rome, Books 01 to 08" by Livy is a monumental history written in Latin between 27 and 9 BC. This epic work chronicles ancient Rome from legendary beginnings—the arrival of Aeneas after Troy's fall and Romulus's founding of the city in 753 BC—through the expulsion of kings and the early republic's struggles. Only 35 of 142 original books survive, covering Rome's transformation from myth to Mediterranean power through wars with neighboring peoples and beyond. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
