Item description from seller

pp.275-290. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise a very good and clean copy. - From the text: I would like to begin this discussion of Livys first pentad with an unfashionable foray into authorial intention. Let us say that Livy embarked on his vast history of the Roman people shortly after the battle of Actium in 31 B.C., an event that in retrospect can be seen to signal the end to almost a century of civil wars, but that, at the time, might have seemed but a pause in the long succession of bloody internal struggles that had gripped the body politic since the Gracchi.1 The first question facing the historian was where to begin. Few would have faulted him if his history had excluded the legends and myths connected with the founding of Rome and had begun with the institution of the Republic or (like that of Claudius Quadrigarius) with the period following the sack of Rome by the Gauls, when traditions and records were somewhat more trustworthy.2 Attempting to write history with any pretense of accuracy, even starting from the latter event, would have been a daunting task, and Livy knew that the greatest of the Greek historians, Herodotus and Thucydides, had by and large confined themselves to the more recent past, where their own autopsy or that of their informants could serve as the basis for arguing the truth of their accounts.
