Livy

Livy's 142-volume history of Rome is only part of Livy's historical writing. Livy's other writings were only known indirectly from epitomes and quotations. This work provides a text, translation, and commentary on all of the surviving 'para-Livian' material from antiquity. 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). This collection of material provides an account of the reputation of Livy in antiquity and the way he was used and read by later writers. The introduction provides a synoptic study of the contexts in which Livy was read and quoted.
