Rome and Italy(ISBN=9780140443882) pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

　　Books VI-X of Livy's monumental work trace Rome's fortunes

from its near collapse after defeat by the Gauls in 386 bc to its

emergence, in a matter of decades, as the premier power in Italy,

having conquered the city-state of Samnium in 293 bc. In this

fascinating history, events are described not simply in terms of

partisan politics, but through colorful portraits that bring the

strengths, weaknesses and motives of leading figures such as the

noble statesman Camillus and the corrupt Manlius vividly to life.

While Rome's greatest chronicler intended his history to be a

memorial to former glory, he also had more didactic aims - hoping

that readers of his account could learn from the past ills and

virtues of the city.
