书籍简介

伟大的罗马历史学家李维(Titus Livius)于公元前64年或59年出生于帕多瓦(Patavium, Padua)，在罗马生活多年后，于公元12或17年去世。

李维的历史是在奥古斯都(Augustus)的帝国专制统治取代了延续了500多年的共和制度时写成的，以华丽的风格生动地描述了罗马从公元前753年或751年的传统基础到公元前9年的崛起，阐明了实现和保持这样的伟大所必需的集体和个人美德。

在142本书中，我们只有35本，以及除了两本之外的其他所有书的简短总结。在他死后很长一段时间，他的整个作品被划分为“几十年”或10个系列。书1-10我们有完整;书11-20已经丢失;21-45卷是完整的，除了41和43-45部分。剩下的只有一些片段和总结。李维对罗马的过去有着广泛的同情和自豪，他以辉煌的风格，对罗马的崛起进行了不加批判但清晰而生动的叙述。

勒布经典图书馆版的《蒂托·李维：罗马史》共十四卷。最后一卷包括一个综合索引。

Livy (Titus Livius), the great Roman historian, was born at or near Patavium (Padua) in 64 or 59 BCE; he may have lived mostly in Rome but died at Patavium, in 12 or 17 CE.

Livy’s only extant work is part of his history of Rome from the foundation of the city to 9 BCE. Of its 142 books, we have just 35, and short summaries of all the rest except two. The whole work was, long after his death, divided into “decades” or series of ten. Books 1–10 we have entire; books 11–20 are lost; and books 21–45 are entire, except parts of 41 and 43–45. Of the rest only fragments and the summaries remain. In splendid style, Livy—a man of wide sympathies and proud of Rome’s past—presented an uncritical but clear and living narrative of the rise of Rome to greatness.

The Loeb Classical Library edition of Livy is in fourteen volumes. The last volume includes a comprehensive index.
