A good book for students as it is divided into many subsections, each one being prefaced by a short synopsis in English.

### ⭐⭐⭐ No allternatives really
*by T***E on March 21, 2011*

If you've finished third year Latin (e.g. something like Wheelock's reader or any text going over Cicero) you should be ready for this. The grammatical notes are copious, but mostly glosses (paraphrases rather than detailed grammatical explanations). You'll need to know most of the details of Latin grammar and syntax before you will get anything out of reading this text in this form. There are no macrons, minimal punctuation, and minimal grammatical help beyond the glosses. Livy writes in very long periodic sentences, longer and more complicated than Cicero's generally. His vocabulary is varied. He will often use a different word for the same thing in the same (long) sentence just for variety. This is not easy Latin. On the other hand the glosses are probably sufficient to get you through it, though you'll need to work at filling in missing grammatical details. I'd say this is a good fourth year text for a self-learner provided they were willing to follow up any areas of doubt using a decent grammar. Unfortunately Latin resources on the internet are not yet sufficient for even this level of research. You'll need a couple of good reference books. It would probably take a decent student 2-3 months to work through this with a reasonable attention to detail. It would be a good prelude for jumping into Golden Age poetry (i.e. Ovid, Vergil etc.).
