Description:
1675 Pliny the Younger Panegyricus Emperors Trajan & Domitian ROME Military Pliny the Younger, one of the most notable 1st-century historians, is best remembered for his written works and orations. His best-known, and still widely popular work is his 'Epistles', which was a series of personal letters to other Roman figures. They give an important view of Roman everyday life as well as an interesting perspective on Pliny's views against Christianity.
In addition to his letters, Pliny is remembered by his only known oration – 'Panegyricus'. 'Panegyricus' was a speech given to the Senate describing Emperor Trajan, his administrative actions, views on justice, military discipline, and commerce. He compares Trajan to other figures most notably Emperor Domitian. This 1675 edition was published in Lugduni Batavorum by Hackiana and includes notes and annotations by Dominique Baudius.

1519 LIVY History of Rome Gladiators Hannibal Punic Wars ALDINE Post Incunable"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
Few works on the history of Rome are as important and impactful as Livy's 'Ab Urbe Condita' or 'Histories'. Livy began working on this work at the end of the 1st-century BC and covers the earliest times and the foundation of Rome through the reign of Caesar Augustus.
While any edition of Livy is desirable, this particular volume from the 1519 post-incunable edition is considered to be one of the most desirable and valuable early edition of Livy. The famed Venetian printer Aldus Manutius published this edition which was edited by Giovanni Francesco Torresani. Aldus published this work in five distinct parts from 1518 through 1533, this tome being the third of the series. Notable topics covered in this volume include:
