Discover the epic journey through the heart of ancient Rome in "History of Rome" by Titus Livius. A monumental endeavor by a man profoundly in love with his beloved Rome, this timeless work transports you back to the grandeur and drama of one of the world's most extraordinary civilizations. Originally penned in a staggering 142 books, this historic masterpiece spans the entire saga of Rome, chronicling the city's origins from the mythical Aeneas to the awe-inspiring days of Augustus in the first century BC. While time has claimed the majority of Livy's opus, 35 books remain, offering an unparalleled glimpse into Rome's legendary past. Livy's narrative commences with Aeneas' fabled arrival in Italy and the legendary tale of Romulus and Remus founding the Eternal City. It takes you on a captivating journey through the tumultuous Samnite Wars, the harrowing Punic Wars, and the gripping Social War. Along the way, you'll encounter the most illustrious and notorious figures in Roman history, from Julius Caesar to Nero, and the inimitable Augustus.
