Book Reviews of Livy: The Early History of Rome, Books I-V (Penguin Classics) (Bks. 1-5)
Book Review: An Ancient Page-Turner!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are faintly interested in Roman History, then you should really read this book. It may be over two thousand years old, but it is certainly still alive and kicking! It is chock full of fascinating characters, such as the central, one-eyed battle-hardened Hannibal himself but also all of the Romans who face him - the reckless Minucius, the headstrong Varro and the steadfast and all-knowing Quintus Fabias Maximus. The battle scenes are fascinating and often very exciting, whilst the story of the panic in Rome, including amongst the common Romans as well as the frenzied debates of the Senate, is no less absorbing. Livy also provides us with many fascinating snapshots of Roman religious beliefs and customs along with his military commentaries that to read it is to be transported back to Ancient Rome. The book may be a bit fat and dry sounding, but open it up and you will be pleasantly surprised. Enthralling and totally compelling.
