Description

Livy's Third Decade (Books 21-30) preserves the most comprehensive historical account of the Hannibalic War, one of antiquity's defining conflicts between Rome and Carthage. D. S. Levene's scholarly study offers the first major examination of this remarkable narrative, investigating what distinguishes Livy's treatment within both his own corpus and ancient historiography more broadly. The book analyses Levene's exploration of narrative construction, source material integration, literary allusions, battle depictions, and Livy's nuanced yet conflicted perspectives on the war's central figures and themes. This work reveals the stylistic richness, dramatic power, and interpretive depth that characterise Livy's account, making it an essential resource for anyone studying Roman military history, ancient narratives, or classical historiography.

Key Features

Livy's Third Decade (Books 21-30) provides the fullest extant historical source for the Hannibalic War and Roman-Carthaginian conflict.

D. S. Levene's analysis explores Livy's distinctive narrative construction, source handling, and sophisticated literary techniques throughout the work.

The study examines battle scenes and military descriptions within Livy's account, analysing how he portrays tactical and strategic elements.
