An epic endeavor by a man genuinely enamored of his native Rome, Livys The History of Rome was originally written in 142 books spanning the entire history of the Roman people up to Livys day in the time of Augustus in the first century BC. While this Roman historians monumental undertaking took most of his life, only 35 books still survive today.

He also thoroughly covers numerous wars, such as the Samnite Wars, the Punic Wars, and the Social War, as well as all of the rulers of Rome, including Julius Caesar, Nero, and Augustus.
