Marcus S. Dimsdale – författare

Originally published in 1889 and reprinted multiple times thereafter, this book contains the Latin text of the 22nd book of the monumental history of Rome by Titus Livius, which deals with Hannibal's advances in Italy during the Second Punic War and the disastrous Roman losses at the battles of Lake Trasimene and Cannae. The history is prefaced with an introduction to Livy's sources and a guide to his dense style, as well as a map of the Carthaginian forces at Lake Trasimene and a thorough commentary on the text and a vocabulary list. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Livy or the history of the wars between Carthage and Rome.
