Book Chapter
The Composition of the Ab Urbe Condita: The Case of the First Pentad
2014
Overview
This essay discusses various structures in the first pentad of Livy's history and how they are created, dealing both with strategies used to construct patterns within books and within the pentad as a whole. It is argued that Livy's evident wish to differentiate the first five books from what follows prepares his reader for his unusually complex treatment of their overall architecture—one not seen elsewhere in extant books of the Ab urbe condita and unexampled, as far as we know, in previous Greek and Latin historiography.
