A Commentary on Livy, Books Vi-X

Livy's History of Rome is our main source for the study of the history of the early centuries of the Roman Republic. In Book X Livy narrates several important political and military advances, in particular the battle of Sentium in 295 BC, during the Third Samnite War, which would eventually lead to the Samnites' final subjugation. This commentary discusses all problems posed by Livy's matchless narrative.
