Product Description
Books XXI-XXXIII of Livy cover the period of the second Macedonian War, the critical years that marked the beginning of Rome's domination of the Hellenistic world. This new paperback edition of Briscoe's standard commentary is largely historical, yet attends also to matters of style. Briscoe provides introductory sections that contain discussions of Livy's use of his sources, his language and style, the speeches, the political situation in Rome at the time of the the Second Macedonian War, and Livy's account of the origins of the war.
