Synopsis

This book presents an insightful analysis of the historian Livy's use of the Greek historian Polybius in writing his history of Rome. The author argues that Livy used Polybius' work as a primary source, but also critically evaluated and adapted it to suit his own purposes. The book sheds light on the complex relationship between these two historians and provides valuable insights into the methods and motivations of ancient historians.
