About this book

Of the one hundred and forty-two books of Livy's history, thirty-five survive, as the introduction to this 1904 edition explains. This volume gives the first three, in a translation drawn from John Henry Freese, Alfred John Church and William Jackson Brodribb. Duffield Osborne added a biographical essay and notes. Livy was born at Patavium, now Padua, between 61 and 57 B.C. His opening books deal with the earliest Rome, from the legendary arrival of Aeneas.

About the author

Livy

Livy (Titus Livius, who lived from roughly 59 BCE to 17 CE) was born at Patavium, modern Padua, and gave his adult life to a single project: a history of Rome from its founding to his own day. Augustus read him and teased him for his republican sympathies.
