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，按惯例分为五部和十部，我们有1-10部和21-45部完整的书，以及除了41部和43-45部之外的所有书的简短总结(周期);有11-20个已经丢失，剩下的只有片段和总结。

第四十章由两部分组成:31-35卷叙述了第二次马其顿战争(200-196)及其后果，然后36-40卷讲述了从191到180年间，罗马粉碎和缩小了安条奥库斯的帝国，以扩展和巩固她对希腊国家的统治。

这个版本取代了原来由Evan T. Sage所写的洛布版本。

Livy (Titus Livius), the great Roman historian, was born at Patavium (Padua) in 64 or 59 BC, where after years in Rome he died in AD 12 or 17. Livy’s history, composed as the imperial autocracy of Augustus was replacing the republican system that had stood for over 500 years, presents in splendid style a vivid narrative of Rome’s rise from the traditional foundation of the city in 753 or 751 BC to 9 BC and illustrates the collective and individual virtues necessary to achieve and maintain such greatness.

Of its 142 books, conventionally divided into pentads and decads, we have 1–10 and 21–45 complete, and short summaries (periochae) of all the rest except 41 and 43–45; 11–20 are lost, and of the rest only fragments and the summaries remain. The fourth decad comprises two recognizable pentads: Books 31–35 narrate the Second Macedonian War (200–196) and its aftermath, then Books 36–40 the years from 191 to 180, when Rome crushed and shrank Antiochus’ empire to extend and consolidate her mastery over the Hellenistic states.

This edition replaces the original Loeb edition by Evan T. Sage.
