Major worksAb Urbe Condita (History of Rome)
The Roman historian whose monumental History of Rome told the story of the city from its legendary founding through the rise of the empire, much of it now lost but vast in its surviving books. A gifted storyteller more than a critical analyst, he gave Rome its enduring self-portrait of virtue, courage, and destiny, preserving the legends that defined how Romans saw themselves.
