Inhaltsangabe

For the first time in 21st century English and with fresh, modern titles and subtitles, the definitive account of Rome’s founding, written by a Roman thought leader who was a contemporary of Emperor Augustus and Jesus Christ.

In Book V, the Romans experience extreme highs and extreme lows unlike anything seen in the previous four books. Roman armies are pushed to new extremes, breaking traditions so that longtime enemies can finally be conquered and their gods brought back to strengthen Rome. They also experience extreme tragedy in a level of vivid detail that highlights Livy's masterful use of Latin.

Marcus Furius Camillus emerges throughout book five as the quintessential Roman general and dictator. Wise, strategic, and moral, Camillus secures victory over Rome's enemies not just through strength, but through the virtue in his leadership.

Livy's retelling of the history of Rome blends ambition, courage, and the allure of fortune into a story that, despite being two millennia old, is all too human.
