Livy: Books 21 and 22 is a historical book written by Livy, originally published in 1893. The book is a part of a larger series of books written by Livy that chronicles the history of Rome, from its founding to the reign of Augustus. Books 21 and 22 specifically cover the Second Punic War, a conflict between Rome and Carthage that lasted from 218 to 201 BCE.The book begins with the invasion of Italy by the Carthaginian general Hannibal, who famously crossed the Alps with his army and won several key battles against the Romans. Livy describes the political and military strategies of both sides, as well as the key figures involved in the conflict, such as Scipio Africanus and Publius Cornelius Scipio.Throughout the book, Livy provides a detailed account of the battles and skirmishes that took place during the war, including the Battle of Cannae, which was one of the bloodiest battles in Roman history. He also explores the social and cultural aspects of the war, such as the role of religion and the impact of the conflict on Roman society.Overall, Livy: Books 21 and 22 is a comprehensive and engaging historical account of one of the most important conflicts in ancient history. It provides valuable insights into the political, military, and cultural aspects of the Second Punic War, and is a must-read for anyone interested in Roman history or military strategy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
