	Livy: Book I
		Nec illi tulere impetum, sed ab effusa fuga flumen obiectum ab tergo arcebat.
		Turnus Herdonius ab Aricia ferociter in absentem Tarquinium erat inuectus: haud mirum esse Superbo inditum Romae cognomen.—Iam enim ita clam quidem mussitantes, volgo tamen eum appellabant.—an quicquam superbius esse quam ludificari sic omne nomen Latinum?
		Is cum primores civitatis, in quibus fratrem suum, ab auunculo interfectum audisset, neque in animo suo quicquam regi timendum neque in fortuna concupiscendum relinquere statuit contemptuque tutus esse ubi in iure parum praesidii esset.

	Ab urbe condita
		AB URBE CONDITA (AUC or a.u.c.) is Latin for "from the founding of the city" (of Rome), supposed to have happened in 753 BC.
		Some modern historians claim that an era "ab urbe condita" (from the founding of the city of Rome) did not, in reality, exist in the ancient world, and the use of reckoning the years in this way is modern.
		Ab Urbe Condita is also the name of a work by Livy.

	Ab urbe condita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ab urbe condita (related with Anno urbis conditae: AUC or a.u.c.) is Latin for "from the founding of the City (Rome)"
		The traditional date for the founding of Rome of April 21, 753 BC was initiated by Varro.
		Varro may have used the consular list with its mistakes, and called the year of the first consuls "245 ab urbe condita", accepting the 244-year interval from Dionysius of Halicarnassus for the kings after the foundation of Rome.

	Livy: Ab urbe condita Book VI - Cambridge University Press
		Book VI of Livy’s Ab urbe condita covers the history of Rome from 390 to 367 BC, a period during which the city, while in the process of recovering from being sacked by the Gauls, faced serious civil disturbance, the resolution of which fundamentally changed the structure of Roman society.
		Special attention is paid to the role of the reader, and to the relationship between the style and the kind of history being written.

		In addition to her discussion of the annalistic form and mimetic narratives, Kraus gives examples of the topoi which appear in Book VI: namely battle descriptions, exhortations, the restive crowd, the proud patrician, and the jealous wife (although I think that Kraus' application of the last term to Fabia is misleading).
		To understand the Manlius or Camillus of Book VI, the reader must know the Manlius and Camillus of Book V. Kraus' references throughout the commentary to episodes and events in the earlier books testify to the need for the reader to remember the past as Livy has represented it.
		Rome did, perhaps, enter a new phase in 390 B.C., but Book VI is better described as a chapter in the plebeian struggle for access to political offices and for freedom from debt-slavery.

		In the last sections of Breviarium ab Urbe Condita, Eutropius was able to bring to bear his own personal knowledge and experience of events.
		In Book 10 of Breviarium ab Urbe Condita Eutropius wrote a radiant eulogy of the emperor Julian, a ruler he greatly admired.

	bolchazy.com: Latin — Reading Livy's Rome: Selections from Books I-VI of LIvy's Ab Urbe Condita
		The canonic narratives from Livy's early books are here, but newly arranged: a paragraph of Livy's text on the right (in some cases very slightly adapted, the original text of Ogilvie's Oxford edition being contained in an appendix), facing a Latin paraphrase of the same material on the left.
		Then, at the beginning of the passages from Book IV, Minkova and Tunberg vary the pattern: the genuine Livy alone is presented, with only the more complex passages given a Latin paraphrase which now is relegated to the footnotes.
		Such prejudices aside, however, let me say that I am delighted with the book's format, and I am convinced that my second-year students are fortunate in being able to begin their study of Latin literature with this text.

		She cleverly counterbalances this logical inner structure with her outer structure: in the introduction her starting point is book 45, the final surviving book of Livy, then she opens her conclusion by citing the Preface (facturusne operae pretium sim...).
		Her decision to begin her reading of Livy with book 1 (30-56) is appropriate, as she acknowledges its geographical importance: "book 1 introduces the major topographical features of the city proper: the Tiber, the Aventine, the Palatine, the Capitoline and the Forum" (7).

		In the past few years the scholarly interest in Livy has turned away from Books 1 and 21-22 to explore both the often neglected 6-10 and the later books.
		Warrior's discussion of the problems of source criticism quickly becomes intertwined with a review of different interpretations of Rome's motivations for warfare (whether it was a conscious goal of expansion or defensive imperialism) and other studies of specific events in Book 31, which she characterizes as "the piece-meal, archival approach." (p.

		This page is designed to provide a brief introduction to the Roman Historian Livy, and to provide tools for further research on his History, Ab Urbe Condita (From the Founding of the City).
		The remarkable aspect of Livy's account of the Regal Period [Livy, Book I] is not its lack of historical merit but the striving to lend the material as much historicity as possible.
		The central theme of his narrative is that the growth of Rome and the genesis of her institutions was a gradual, piecemeal process that took many centuries.
