"The History of Rome, Books 37 to the End" by Livy is a historical record covering the latter parts of the Roman Republic. It mainly focuses on pivotal moments such as the war against Antiochus, and intensely studies the political environment of that period. Readers explore the lives and actions of key people, especially military leaders such as Lucius Cornelius Scipio, gaining insight into the strategies used in battle, the art of diplomacy, and the complicated nature of Roman partnerships. The story kicks off by laying the groundwork for military conflicts and political games within the Roman Senate, specifically zeroing in on the preparations for battling against Antiochus, emphasizing the crucial commanders and their military plans, exemplified by Scipio’s initial involvement in Asia and the sea skirmishes against Antiochus’s naval forces.
