Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book defends the ancient Roman historian and literary figure Livy against criticism from a modern writer. The volume critiques specific claims that Livy's work is unreliable, biased, and anachronistic. The author provides thorough evidence from Livy's writings to support their main argument: that Livy was a remarkable historian and writer whose historical accounts of early Rome should be treated with greater respect by modern historians. The author carefully addresses critiques of Livy's work on a chapter-by-chapter basis, offering a valuable defense of one of antiquity's most important literary figures.
