This volume presents a new and literal translation of the twenty-first book of Livy's monumental history of Rome. Book XXI details the opening of the Second Punic War, focusing on Hannibal's epic march across the Alps and his initial campaigns in Italy. Titus Livius (Livy) was a Roman historian who lived from 59 BC to AD 17. He wrote a comprehensive history of Rome, Ab Urbe Condita (From the Founding of the City), covering the period from the legendary founding of Rome (traditionally dated to 753 BC) to the reign of Augustus in the 1st century BC. Only 35 of the 142 books he wrote are still extant, but they remain a vital source for Roman history.
