Book
Books VI-X of Livy's 'The history of Rome' traces its fortunes from its near collapse after defeat by the Gauls in 386 BC to its emergence as the premier power in Italy. While Livy intended his work to be a memorial to former glory, he also hoped that readers would learn from the past ills and virtues of the city.
