Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Livy's Ab urbe condita Book XXII narrates Hannibal's massive defeats of the Romans at Trasimene (217 BC) and Cannae (216 BC). It is Livy's best and most dramatic book, and the one most likely to appeal to students at every level. Livy drew on the Greek historian Polybius, but transformed his drier treatment into a rhetorical masterpiece, which by a series of insistent thematic contrasts brings out the tensions between the delaying tactics of Fabius and the costly rashness of Flaminius, Minucius and Varro. A substantial and accessibly written introduction by two experienced commentators covers historical, religious, literary and linguistic matters, including the place of Book XXII in the structure of Livy's long work. A new text by Briscoe is followed by a full commentary, covering literary and historical aspects and offering frequent help with translation. The volume is suitable for undergraduates, graduate students, teachers, and scholars. Book XXII, narrating Hannibal's defeats of Rome at Trasimene and Cannae, is Livy's most dramatic book in which he transformed Polybius' source material into a rhetorical masterpiece. A new text is provided and the introduction and commentary treat historical, religious, literary and linguistic matters. It is suitable for students at all levels.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Volume VI of the new edition of The Cambridge Ancient History begins with Sparta attempting to consolidate its leadership of mainland Greece and ends with the death of Alexander the Great after he had conquered the Persian Empire and marched far into India. It is correspondingly wide-ranging in its treatment of the politics and economy, not only of old Greece, but of the Near East and the western Mediterranean. The century also saw the continued development of Classical Greek art and the moulding of Greek prose as an uniquely flexible means of expression. The formation of the great philosophical schools assured to Athens in her political decline a long future as a cultural centre, and established patterns of thought which dominated western civilization for two thousand years. This volume covers years which include the rise of Macedon and the campaigns of Alexander the Great. It treats the politics and economy not only of old Greece but also of the Near East and the western Mediterranean. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
