Editorial Reviews
Review
"A brilliant and convincing analysis. This lucid study . . . takes its place beside other basic works. . . . Highly recommended."-Choice
"Miles's book is well informed by an excellent knowledge of Roman culture and literature for the period ca. 60-20 B.C."-Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"A very important work. Miles goes further than his predecessors, giving us a Livy who is not merely in control of the structure of his history as a whole and of its individual episodes, but one who demonstrates originality as a thinker and interpreter."-Judith Ginsburg, Cornell University
"In this challenging book Miles argues that Livy's picture of early Rome is a reflection of the ideals, tensions, and concerns of his own day. Rome coped with changes by casting them as continuities with the past; Livy in his idiosyncratic reinterpretation sees the contradictions, ambiguities, and positive lessons in those continuities."-T. James Luce, Jr., Princeton University
