1722 BEAUTIFUL Lucius Florus History of Rome LIVY Gruterus Duker Fine Binding

"Men of outstanding ability are more likely to lack the power of controlling their own people than of defeating an enemy in battle."

― Livy, The History of Rome

Florus was a Roman historian who lived during the 2nd-century AD. His history of Rome was collected by Livy, and mainly focuses on the foundation of Rome though the end of the B.C. era. The work is considered somewhat inaccurate, especially compared to Livy's much more popular and famous 'History of Rome'. This work lacks details of chronology and geography.

This 1722 of Florus's 'History' is supplemented with commentary from German scholar Carl Andreas Duker.
