Excerpt from Livy, Vol. 27: Edited With Introduction and Notes
I have ventured for the sake of younger scholars, but at the risk, I know, of being severely handled by more advanced school-boys, to retain some old-fashioned spelling. In particular, following Madvig, I have printed es always in the third declension plurals.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the events of the pivotal year 210 BCE of the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage. The war, almost a decade old by that point, had seen a string of Carthaginian victories under their brilliant general Hannibal. However, the shift in momentum begins with the events chronicled in this book. The Romans, fighting in defense of their homeland, rally in ways they have not in years. Against all odds and despite enduring yet another crushing defeat, they manage to turn the tide of the war in their favor. They achieve this by finding a way to send aid to their beleaguered legions in Spain, holding firm against the relentless Hannibal, and eventually winning a decisive victory against the Carthaginians. The author, in addition to providing a detailed historical account, also includes insights into the political backdrop of the time, the complicated alliances between Rome and the various Italian states, and the intense internal politics of the Roman Republic. Altogether, the book makes for a fascinating read and sheds light on a crucial period of military history.
