Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This book examines the history of Rome through the lens of the writings of historians such as Livy and the Halicarnassian. It considers the evolution of the Roman state from its humble beginnings to its rise as a global empire. The author analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of Livy's history, finding it to be an invaluable source of information about the Roman people but also flawed in its biases and omissions. The work also explores the writings of the Halicarnassian, whose history of Rome provides a more comprehensive and nuanced account of the early period of the city's existence. By comparing these two historians, the book sheds light on the complex and fascinating history of Rome and offers valuable insights into the nature of historical writing itself.
