Тит Ливий — книжные серии

The remarkable account of Hannibal crossing the Alps with his elephants and winning the Battle of the Trebbia.

'People have it in their minds that he would have been a match for Alexander, had Alexander turned his arms on Europe.'

So Livy characterizes Papirius Cursor, one of Rome's famous generals in the fourth century BC. In Books 6 to 10 of his monumental history of Rome, Livy deals with the period in which Rome recovered from its Gallic disaster to impose mastery over almost the entire Italian peninsula in a series of ever greater wars. Along with Papirius, Livy paints vivid portraits of other notable figures, such as Camillus, who rescued the city from its Gallic captors in 390, young Manlius Torquatus, victor in a David-versus-Goliath duel with a Gallic chieftain, and Appius Claudius who built Rome's first major highway, the Appian Way. Livy's blend of factual narrative and imaginative recreation brings to life a critical era for the rise of Rome, and Books 6 to 10 of his work are the one complete account we have, as the city passes from myth and legend into the increasing light of reliable history.

John Yardley's fluent translation is accompanied by an introduction and notes that set Livy in the context of Roman historiography.

'I will do as the Senate decrees.'

These words from one of Rome's opponents encapsulate the authority Rome achieved by its subjugation of the Mediterranean. The Third Macedonian War, recounted in this volume, ended the kingdom created by Philip II and Alexander the Great and was a crucial step in Rome's eventual dominance. For Livy, the story is also a fascinating moral study of the vices and virtues that hampered and promoted Rome's efforts in the conflict. He presents the war not so much as a battle against Perseus, Alexander's last and unworthy successor, than as a struggle within the Roman national character. Only traditional moral strength, embodied in Lucius Aemilius Paullus, the general who ultimately defeats Perseus, ensures the Roman victory.

This edition also includes the Periochae, later summaries of Livy's entire original 142-book history of Rome from its founding to the age of Augustus (of which only 35 books survive).

'With a single announcement from a herald, all the cities of Greece and Asia had been set free; only an intrepid soul could formulate such an ambitious project, only phenomenal valour and fortune bring it to fruition. (Livy, 33. 33)

Thus Livy describes the reaction to the Roman commander T.Q. Flamininus' proclamation of the freedom of Greece at the Isthmian games near Corinth in 196 BC. Half a century later Greece was annexed as a province of the Romans who burned the ancient city of Corinth to the ground.

Books 31 to 40 of Livy's history chart Rome's emergence as an imperial nation and the Romans tempestuous involvement with Greece, Macedonia and the near East in the opening decades of the second century BC; they are our most important source for Graeco-Roman relations in that century. Livy's dramatic narrative includes the Roman campaigns in Spain and against the Gallic tribes of Northern Italy; the flight of Hannibal from Carthage and his death in the East; the debate on the Oppian law; and the Bacchanalian Episode.

This is the only unabridged English translation of Books 31 to 40.

'You know how to win a battle, Hannibal; you do not know how to use the victory!'

Livy's great history of Rome contains, in Books 21 to 30, the definitive ancient account of Hannibal's invasion of Italy in 218 BC, and the war he fought with the Romans over the following sixteen years. Livy describes the bloody siege of the Spanish city of Saguntum, Rome's ally, which sparked the war, and the Carthaginian leader's famous march with elephants over the Alps into Italy. Livy's gripping story-telling vividly conveys the drama of the great battles, the disastrous encounters at Trasimene and Cannae, and the final confrontation between Hannibal and the youthful Scipio Africanus. Individuals as well as events are brought powerfully to life, as the long course of the Second Punic War unfolds.

This new translation captures the brilliance of Livy's style, and is accompanied by a fascinating introduction and notes.

Romulus and Remus, the rape of Lucretia, Horatius at the bridge, the saga of Coriolanus, Cincinnatus called from his farm to save the state - these and many more are stories which, immortalised by Livy in his history of early Rome, have become part of our cultural heritage.

The historian's huge work, written between 20 BC and AD 17, ran to 12 books, beginning with Rome's founding in 753 BC and coming down to Livy's own lifetime (9 BC). Books 1-5 cover the period from Rome's beginnings to her first great foreign conquest, the capture of the Etruscan city of Veii and, a few years later, to her first major defeat, the sack of the city by the Gauls in 390 BC.

Livy's only extant work is part of his history of Rome from the foundation of the city to 9 BCE. Of its 142 books, we have just 35, and short summaries of all the rest except two. The whole work was, long after his death, divided into Decades or series of ten. Books 1–10 we have entire; books 11–20 are lost; books 21–45 are entire, except parts of 41 and 43–45. Of the rest only fragments and the summaries remain. In splendid style Livy, a man of wide sympathies and proud of Rome's past, presented an uncritical but clear and living narrative of the rise of Rome to greatness.

Тит Ливий (59 г. до н.э. – 17 г. н.э.) – великий древнеримский историк, посвятивший почти всю свою жизнь написанию фундаментального труда по истории Рима. Сочинение состояло из 142 книг (соответствуют современным главам), но сохранились лишь книги 1—10 и 21—45 (описывают события до 292 года до н. э. и с 218 до 167 года до н. э.), небольшие фрагменты других книг, а также периохи — краткие пересказ ы содержания. Впервые, в начале XX в. все сохранившиеся главы "Истории Рима" перевел Андриянов П. Впоследствии коллектив известных филологов и историков античности, во главе с Зелинским Ф.Ф., Кнабе Г.С., Гаспаровым М.Л. и Смириным В.М. сделали…

Тит Ливий – знаменитый древнеримский историк и мыслитель, автор «Римской истории от основания города». Это монументальное сочинение включало сто сорок две книги, и из них лишь тридцать пять сохранились до наших дней. В «Войне с Ганнибалом», которая являет собой одну из самых значимых страниц «Римской истории», Тит Ливий рассказывает о Второй Пунической войне (218–201 до н. э.), которую карфагеняне вели против римлян под предводительством Ганнибала, соперничая за господство на Средиземноморье. Наряду с Александром Македонским, Юлием Цезарем, Сципионом Африканским и Пирром Эпирским, Ганнибал вошел в историю как величайший полководец и военный…
