Livy's first book covers the 'mythical' period of Rome, from the
arrival of Aeneas in Italy, including the founding of Alba Longa
and Rome, the lives of Romulus and Remus, and the period of
Kingship up to the banishment of the last of the seven kings,
Tarquinus Superbus and the election of the first consuls. The
book opens with Livy's important Preface which explains his
rationale for writing this history.This edition, with introduction,
commentary notes and vocabulary by H.E. Gould and J.L.
Whiteley, was first published in Macmillan's Modern School
Classics series. The introduction covers the life and work of
Livy, his role as an historian, Livy's writing, style, grammar and
syntax, and the historical context of the period. The edition's
comprehensive annotation, vocabulary and introduction
elucidates essential points of historical content as well as
providing all the linguistic support needed to understand the

text, including glosses of obscure words, explanations of
difficult phrases and grammatical support. A translation of the
Preface and maps of Latium and Rome of the Regal Period
are also included.
