Of its 142 books, we have just thirty-five, 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 Rome’s rise to greatness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Loeb","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":47720503443680,"sku":"Books:9780674991262n","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/5911\/6768\/files\/61Shv4NIzuL._SL1304.jpg?v=1757019007","url":"https:\/\/theswordandshovel.com\/products\/history-of-rome-vol-1-books-1-2-livy-loeb","provider":"Sword \u0026 Shovel (403)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
