Synopsis
Excerpt from Livy, Vol. 1: With Introduction Historical Examination and Notes
On the whole then the first decad appears to have been written between 27 and 20. The Aeneid was being written at the same time, and thus the greatest poet and the greatest prose writer of the age were occupied at the same time in calling the attention of the Romans to their origin. We are not here concerned with the later decads, and I do not undertake to discuss the work as a whole.

Livy, Vol. 1: With Introduction Historical Examination and Notes
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical veracity and nature of the events described in the first book of Livy's History of Rome, a foundational text for Roman history. The author meticulously examines the available sources of Livy's time and explores how the early Roman history might have been shaped by cultural and political contexts of the era. Through deep analysis of inconsistencies and contradictions, the author considers the possibility of these stories having been fabricated rather than passed down as factual accounts. The author posits that many of the legends, such as that of Romulus and Remus, may have been influenced by Euhemerism, a process of transforming mythological figures into historical ones, and by the desire to explain the origins of Roman customs and institutions. Ultimately, the author leaves open the possibility of a nucleus of truth within these legendary accounts, but emphasizes the importance of approaching them with a critical eye. This book offers valuable insights into the complex web of fact and fiction surrounding the foundational myths of Rome, providing a fresh perspective for scholars and general readers alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330611982_0
