Titus Livius's Roman History, Volumes 1-2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781023785266)

This edition presents the first two volumes of Titus Livius's (Livy's) monumental Roman history, translated by William Gordon. Livy's "Roman History" (Ab Urbe Condita Libri) is a comprehensive account of Rome from its legendary founding to the reign of Augustus. These initial volumes recount the early history of Rome, including the tales of Romulus and Remus, the founding of the Republic, and the early wars of expansion. Gordon's translation makes Livy's work accessible to a wider audience, preserving the grandeur and drama of the original Latin.

Livy's history remains a cornerstone of classical literature, offering insights into Roman values, politics, and military strategies. These volumes provide a detailed narrative of Rome's formative years, offering essential reading for students of history, classics, and anyone interested in the foundations of Western civilization.
