"Roman History, Books I-III" by Livy is a historical account written in the early 1st century AD. This work chronicles the origins and early years of Rome, including the legendary figures and events that laid the foundation of the city and its empire. Livy's narrative captures the valor, trials, and moral lessons from Rome's past, focusing on themes of governance, warfare, and civic duty. The opening of Livy's history introduces the story of Aeneas, the Trojan hero, and traces the early events leading to the founding of Rome, including the legendary twin brothers Romulus and Remus. It describes Aeneas's journey to Italy, his alliance with Latinus, and the establishment of Lavinium. As the narrative unfolds, Livy recounts key events such as the rise of Romulus, the establishment of Rome, and the hardships faced, including the infamous abduction of the Sabine women. This section sets the stage for a richly detailed exploration of Rome's foundational myth, illustrating both its divine and human characters while establishing a historical context that blends legend with moral reflection.
