Roman History, Books I-III
by Livy
Edited by Duffield Osborne · Translated by William Jackson Brodribb · Translated by Alfred John Church · Translated by John Henry Freese
"Roman History, Books I-III" by Livy is a monumental history written in Latin between 27 and 9 BC. This work chronicles ancient Rome from the legendary arrival of Aeneas after Troy's fall through the city's founding in 753 BC and the expulsion of the Kings in 509 BC. These opening books capture Rome's mythic origins, the age of kings, and the early republic's struggles, including its conquest by the Gauls in 390 BC. Written in compelling annalistic style, Livy's narrative became essential reading for understanding Rome's foundation myths and early development.
