520 8 |a This book studies Livy's Third Decade (Books 217–30), our fullest source for one of the most crucial wars of all time, the Second Punic War (also known as the Hannibalic War) between Carthage and Rome in 219–202 bc. The book is in five chapters. Chapter One examines Livy's construction of his narrative, looking at the division into ten books, his handling of chronology, and the connections he draws between the different parts of his story. Chapter Two looks at his use of literary allusion and his handling of his source-material, especially in his relationship to the earlier Greek historian Polybius. Chapter Three deals with his characterization of individuals and his sophisticated but ambivalent attitudes towards non-Romans. Chapter Four deals with battle scenes, with particular reference to how victory or defeat is determined. Chapter Five brings material from the other chapters together to give a broad account of Livy's concept of historical causation. The book argues that Livy portrays a world in which military calculation and human reason constantly fail — a world in which events occur beyond normal human comprehension, but where everything is governed by a hidden moral structure.
