Summary "The History of Rome, Books 37 to the End" by Livy is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work serves as a continuation of Livy's monumental examination of Rome's history, focusing on the events and conflicts that occurred during the later stages of the Roman Republic, particularly the wars against Antiochus and the political dynamics at play during this era. The text provides insights into important figures like Lucius Cornelius Scipio and explores themes of military strategy, diplomacy, and the complexities of Roman alliances. The opening of this historical narrative sets the stage for a detailed discussion of military campaigns and political maneuvering in the Roman Senate. It describes the preparations for war against Antiochus, highlighting significant military leaders and their strategies, such as Lucius Cornelius Scipio’s first foray into Asia and the naval confrontations with Antiochus's fleet. Livy details the negotiations with various states, the failures of diplomacy with the Ætolians, and the ensuing actions taken by the Roman commanders to secure victory and expand the Republic's influence. The drama of military engagements, coupled with the interaction of political factions, vividly illustrates a pivotal moment in Roman history, effectively drawing readers into this complex and combative period.
