Spero che la mia passione per il passato di Roma non abbia compromesso il mio giudizio; perché credo sinceramente che nessun paese sia mai stato più grande o più puro del nostro o più ricco di buoni cittadini e nobili azioni. Livio dedicò la maggior parte della sua vita alla scrittura di circa 142 volumi di storia, i primi cinque dei quali comprendono The Early History of Rome. Con brillantezza stilistica, racconta quasi 400 anni dalla fondazione di Roma all'invasione gallica nel 386 a.C., un'epoca che vide l'istituzione della Repubblica, disordini e conflitti brutali. Dando vita a personaggi avvincenti e riproponendo storie familiari, tra cui la tragedia di Coriolano e la storia di Romolo e Remo, The Early History è un'opera veramente epica e un monito appassionato che una nazione dovrebbe imparare dalla sua storia. Tradotto da Aubrey DE Sélincourt con un'introduzione di RM Ogilvie e una prefazione di SP Oakley
