History of Rome, Books 1-5
History of Rome, Books 1-5 | Livy
In addition to Valerie Warrior's crisp, fluent translation of the first five books of Livy's Ab Urbe Condita, this edition features a general introduction to Livy and his work, extensive foot-of-the-page notes offering essential contextual information, and a chronology of events. Three appendices--on the genealogies of the most prominent political figures in the early Republic, Livy's relationship with Augustus, and Livy's treatment of religion--offer additional insight into the author and the early history of Rome.

One of the reason I find calm in Livy is the pace of the sentences, the focus I have to apply to get into the movement of the way the story is told. Slowly, meticulously it lulls me into a better frame of mind. From Romulus, to this king and that king, it works its magic. Nice thing about Livy, is access. On the web, in my e-reader and on paper when things are really bad. #survivingdecember #calm #booktherapy
