Author Description

Excerpt from Livy, Vol. 6 of 13: With an English Translation; Books XXIII-XXV For works dealing with this period Of the Second Punic War the reader is referred to the Cambridge Ancient History, Vol. VIII, and the bibliographies for its chapters ii - iv, pp. 721 if. Lists so recent and so generally accessible make it unnecessary to insert here a bibliography, to supplement those already contained in Vols. V (pp. Xiii ff.) and IX (p. Xv ii). A recent work of Professor Fabricius, of Copenhagen, correcting current errors in the topography of Syra cuse, is discussed in the Appendix.
