Reviews

A detailed, learned and in some respects radical book ... [Levine] is excellent on challenging our modern expectations of reading and understanding a text such as Livy's ... and he convincingly shows a range of literary subtleties that often go unnoticed.
*Mary Beard, Times Literary Supplement*

an intricate, dense, and important book, which not only alters out understanding of Livy's craft, but also underscores his imporance in the historiographical canon ... Not every reader will agree with [Levene's] conclusions, and some might be discomfited, but every reader will find here something to provoke thought and stimulate interest.
*Ayelet Haimson Lushkov, Journal of Roman Studies*

A long, dense, challenging, intriguing, and rewarding study of Livy's third decade.
*Michael P. Fonda, Bryn Mawr Classical Review*
