Livius’ Quellen in Der Iii. Dekade ..., by Wilhelm Soltau, is a detailed examination of the sources used by the Roman historian Livy (Titus Livius) in his third decade of books covering Roman history.

Soltau meticulously analyzes Livy’s accounts, aiming to identify and evaluate the primary sources Livy consulted. The book offers valuable insights into the reconstruction of historical events based on fragmented evidence and the critical assessment of classical texts.This historical analysis remains relevant for classicists, historians, and students interested in ancient Rome, the evolution of historical writing, and the challenges of source interpretation. The work illuminates the context in which Livy wrote and the nature of the materials available to him, providing a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in crafting historical narratives.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
