From the back of the book:

TRANSLATIONS FROM GREEK AND ROMAN AUTHORS 

Series Editor: Graham Tingay

A series of new translations which offers a wide selection of Greek and Roman authors and topics. The books are specifically designed to be used across the whole range of 'O' level and CSE courses in classical civilisation and classical languages, where the authors are studied in English translation.

Livy: Stories of Rome

Roger Nichols' translations provide a lively and highly readable collection of some of the best stories in Roman history. The selected stories, together with the linking narrative and commentary, give an account of the early history of Rome which will make an ideal topic for study on Roman civilisation and classical studies courses. The selection will also be useful to those taking classical literature in translation papers, who want to consider Livy's role as a writer and historian.
