Title: Rome and Italy (Ab Urbe Condita VI-X)
Author: Livy (Titus Livius), translated by Betty Radice with an Introduction by R. M. Olgivie
Number of Pages: 356
Genre: non-fiction, history
Book Number/Goal: 25 of 100 to be read in a year
My rating: 2/5
Review: First off, the title is weird because Penguin Classics, in their wisdom, slapped titles onto books untitled by Livy. His entire history of Rome was called Ab Urbe Condita which translates to "from the city having been founded." He originally wrote 142 books, but only thirty-five survive, along with summaries of some of the missing books. The volume I'm reviewing is made up of Books Six through Ten.
