In this volume, Livy covers a period of Roman history that includes the Second Punic War against Carthage, the rise of Scipio Africanus, and the defeat of Hannibal. He also covers the Third Macedonian War and the Roman conquest of Greece. Throughout the book, Livy provides a detailed account of the political and military events of the time, as well as the social and cultural changes that occurred in Rome during this period. He also includes anecdotes and stories about the lives of the prominent figures of the time, such as Scipio Africanus and Hannibal.Overall, The History of Rome V6 is a comprehensive and detailed account of a significant period in Roman history, written by one of the most celebrated historians of the ancient world.The heralds of victory travelled to Rome with the utmost possible speed, but on their arrival they found that the rejoicings over it had forestalled them. Four days after the battle, while the Games were going on in the Campus Martius, a whispered rumour suddenly spread amongst the whole concourse of spectators to the effect that a battle had taken place in Macedonia resulting in the utter defeat of the king.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
