Praise for the digital Loeb Classical Library “The Loeb Library…remains to this day the Anglophone world’s most readily accessible collection of classical masterpieces… Now, with their digitization, [the translations] have crossed yet another frontier.”—Wall Street Journal “The digital Loeb Classical Library will be a transformative experience for professionals doing research and provide everyone else with a wonderful buffet of reading to browse.”—Weekly Standard More Praise News Forthcoming Loebs (December 2021) QUINTILIAN The Major Declamations, Volumes I–III Edited by Antonio Stramaglia Translated by Michael Winterbottom With Notes by Biagio Santorelli and Michael Winterbottom The Major Declamations, attributed to Quintilian in antiquity, exemplify the final stage of Greco-Roman rhetorical training, in which students delivered speeches for the prosecution and defense at imaginary trials. A wide variety of fascinating ethical, social, and legal details animates the fictional world conjured up by these oratorical exercises. Recent Loebs (June 2021) AELIUS ARISTIDES Orations, Volume II Edited and Translated by Michael Trapp Aelius Aristides (117–after 180), among the most versatile authors of the Second Sophistic and an important figure in the transmission of Hellenism, produced speeches and lectures, declamations on historical themes, polemical works, prose hymns, and essays on a wide variety of subjects. LIVY History of Rome, Volume VIII Edited and Translated by J. C. Yardley Livy (Titus Livius, 64 or 59 BC–AD 12 or 17), the great Roman historian, presents a vivid narrative of Rome’s rise from the traditional foundation of the city in 753 or 751 BC to 9 BC and illustrates the collective and individual virtues necessary to maintain such greatness. The third decad (21–30) chronicles the Second Punic War of 220–205 BC. This Loeb edition replaces the original (1949) by Frank Gardner Moore.
