Livius Et Polybius Scipionis Rerum Scriptores (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details similarities and relationships between the works of renowned historians Livy and Polybius as they narrate the second Punic war. While previous scholars focused on similarities in the 21st and 22nd books of Livy's masterpiece and Polybius's 3rd, the author argues that these similarities in fact extend beyond these books to encompass the 26th to 30th. Central to this analysis is the identification of a common source, which the author proposes, based on the level of detail and accuracy in both accounts, was someone with meticulous knowledge of the regions in question as well as the customs of the Carthaginians. These specific details and a shared style of storytelling suggest that both Livy and Polybius drew on the same primary source in composing their respected works. Additionally, the author notes that while Livy and Polybius share many similarities, there are still notable differences between their accounts, which likely stem from Livy's tendency to adapt his source material to fit his own narrative style. The insights offered in this book will be of particular interest to scholars of ancient history and those interested in the complexities of historical storytelling.
