1 Notes

After the Sabine war, Tarquinius returned to Rome triumphantly. Then he waged war—oh Jesus Christ, Tarquinius, give it a rest!
Fun with translating Livy 1.38.3 (bello Sabino perfecto Tarquinius triumphans Romam redit. inde Priscis Latinis bellum fecit.). Livy is fine, but I find his excessive detail on battle formations and prayers really boring.
