書籍簡介

偉大的羅馬歷史學家李維(Titus Livius)於公元前64年或59年出生於帕多瓦(Patavium, Padua)，在羅馬生活多年後，於公元12或17年去世。

李維的歷史是在奧古斯都(Augustus)的帝國專制統治取代了延續了500多年的共和制度時寫成的，以華麗的風格生動地描述了羅馬從公元前753年或751年的傳統基礎到公元前9年的崛起，闡明瞭實現和保持這樣的偉大所必需的集體和個人美德。

在142本書中，我們只有35本，以及除了兩本之外的其他所有書的簡短總結。在他死後很長一段時間，他的整個作品被劃分為“幾十年”或10個系列。書1-10我們有完整;書11-20已經丟失;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總結。李維對羅馬的過去有着廣泛的同情和自豪，他以輝煌的風格，對羅馬的崛起進行了不加批判但清晰而生動的敍述。

勒布經典圖書館版的《蒂託·李維：羅馬史》共十四卷。最後一卷包括一個綜合索引。

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.
