The Complete Livy

"The History of Rome", or "Ab Urbe Condita Libri" is a monumental history of Ancient Rome written in Latin around 27 BC by the historian Titus Livius, known in English as Livy. The work covers the time from the story of Aeneas and the mythologized founding of Rome in 753 BC, up to Livy's own time in the reign of the Emperor Augustus. Only about 25% of the original massive work survives - but that which does provides an unparalleled insight into the Roman World.
