Description
The History of Rome V5 is a book written by the ancient Roman historian Livy, which covers the history of Rome from its founding in 753 BC to the end of the Second Punic War in 201 BC. This fifth volume of Livy's work focuses on the period between 218 and 201 BC, which saw the rise of the Roman general Scipio Africanus and his victory over the Carthaginian leader Hannibal at the Battle of Zama.The book provides a detailed account of the political, social, and military events that shaped Rome during this period, including the struggle for power between the patricians and the plebeians, the expansion of Roman territory through conquest, and the development of Rome's military might.Livy's writing style is characterized by his vivid descriptions of battles and political intrigues, as well as his use of speeches and dialogues to convey the thoughts and motivations of his historical figures. The History of Rome V5 is considered a valuable primary source for scholars and students of ancient Roman history, as well as a fascinating read for anyone interested in the rise and fall of one of the world's greatest empires.On perceiving this the consul ordered C. Livius Salinator, the allied cavalry leader, to send his men at a hard gallop against them, and the cavalry of the legions to act as supports. This hurricane of cavalry confused, disordered, and finally broke up the Gaulish lines, but they did not turn to flee. Their officers began to stop any attempt at flight by striking the waverers with their spears and forcing them back into their ranks.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
