Titus Livius Patavinus (59 BCE - 17 CE) -- or LIVY -- was a Roman historian who wrote a monumental history of ancient Rome and the Roman people.  Ab Urbe Condita Libri ("The History of Rome from Its Foundation") covers the time from the stories of Aeneas, the earliest legendary period from before the city's founding in c. 753 BCE, to Livy's own times in the reign of the emperor Augustus.  Only about 25% of the work has survived.

Livy's History was in demand from the publication of the first packet and continued through the entire classical period.  Interest in Livy declined in the Middle Ages but underwent an intense revival during the Renaissance.  Machiavelli's work on republics, the "Discourses on Livy" is presented as a commentary on the History of Rome.  For several hundred years, Livy's work was studied by the youth of every Western population.

Good work workbee!
Do you have "Berlin Alexanderplatz" by Doblin?
Thanks
@workerbee Thanks a lot for these. Could you upload Edward Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire?

I know they are on gutenberg here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/25717

But if by any chance you have any other version of them, could you upload them?
@iss3210 - The only copy I've come across of Berlin Alexanderplatz is here: https://en.bookfi.org/book/1272460

@anmisto - The 3 volumes of Gibbon are already available on TPB: https://piratebayproxy.live/torrent/8423994/
@workerbee Thanks so much. Though I wonder how I missed that torrent.
Oh well, thanks again.
Huge fan, workerbee. Your feed is like Christmas morning...everyday.

Do you have any good editions of Cicero?
