Description
"The History of Rome, Books 37 to the End" by Livy is a monumental history written in Latin between 27 and 9 BC. This section covers Rome's eastern wars and imperial expansion from 201 BC through the reign of Augustus, ending with the death of Drusus in 9 BC. Originally part of a 142-book epic chronicling Rome from its legendary founding to Livy's own time, these later books reveal the transformation of the Republic into Empire, though many volumes have been lost to history.
