The History of Rome, Books 09 to 26
This volume of Livy's History of Rome, in the translation by D. Spillan and Cyrus Edmonds published by Bohn in 1868, contains Books 9 and 10 and Books 21 to 26. The first two books carry the Samnite wars from the Roman humiliation at the Caudine Forks in 321 B.C. to the victory at Sentinum; summaries stand in for the ten lost books that followed. Books 21 to 26 are the heart of Livy's account of the Second Punic War: Hannibal's crossing of the Alps, the defeats at the Trebia, Lake Trasimene and Cannae, the defection and recovery of Capua, the siege of Syracuse, Hannibal before Rome and young Scipio's departure for Spain.
