Livy's History of Rome is our main source for the study of the history of the early centuries of the Roman Republic. In Book IX Livy narrates the course of the Second Samnite War, one of the most important that Rome fought during its conquest of Italy: the book begins with Livy's celebrated account of the Roman defeat in the Caudine Forks and ends with Roman victory over the Samnites. This commentary discusses all problems posed by Livy's matchless narrative.
