Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Livy, Vol. 1: With Introduction Historical Examination and Notes
On the whole then the first decad appears to have been written between 27 and 20. The Aeneid was being written at the same time, and thus the greatest poet and the greatest prose writer of the age were occupied at the same time in calling the attention of the Romans to their origin. We are not here concerned with the later decads, and I do not undertake to discuss the work as a whole.
