"People have it in their minds that he would have been a match for Alexander, had Alexander turned his arms on Europe."Here is a superb new translation of Books 6 to 10 of Livy's monumental history of Rome, covering the period when Rome, in a series of ever greater wars, imposed mastery over virtually the entire Italian peninsula.
