When Livy began his epic The History of Rome, he had no idea of the fame and fortune he would eventually attain. He would go on to become the most widely read writer in the Roman Empire and was eagerly sought out and feted like a modern celebrity. And his fame continued to grow after his death. His bombastic style, his intricate and complex sentence structure, and his flair for powerfully recreating the searing drama of historical incidents made him a favorite of teachers and pupils alike. Along with Virgil and Cicero, Livy formed the Latin triumvirate of essential studies for 2,000 years.

Hardly anyone who was educated was unaware of at least some of the more famous stories of Roman myth and history as told by Titus Livius. When completed, Livy's magnificent work consisted of 142 "books" (i.e. long chapters) and covered the period from the mythical founding of Rome through the time of Augustus. Books 1 - 10 and 21 - 45 are all that have come down to us in reasonably complete form. Volume 1 consists of books 1 - 5, which takes us from the founding of Rome in the eighth century BC to its sack by the Gauls in 390 BC. The Audio Connoisseur series will eventually come to six volumes. This version was translated by Roberts.

its a wow Book to listen specially for people who's first language is not English! such is the use of words...and the voice of Narrator....it feels like both of them are decorating the English language with most beautiful of ornaments...when speaking in my mother tongue I am expressive and and elegant in choosing my words ...and was proud of that and thought no other language can match the art of beautifying it self...certainly not English....But Mr.Roberts proved me wrong and the narrator's voice is like jewel in the crown....I dont know Latin but I sure if Livy knew English and if he would have had listened to this ...He would have been proud of you people.....cant wait for Cansul Gaius Marius to start..100 B.C. hope he is there.....your greatful lister
