Accessible and Intelligent(and Livy's quite good too)
I purchased Penguin's 2002 revised edition of Livy's EARLY HISTORY OF ROME(the first five of the 35 surviving books; please see Livy's other titles in the Penguin Classics Series)which includes the excellent 1971 Introduction by Robert Ogilvie as well a recent tidying up job by Stephen Oakley. There are maps, appendices, bibliography and an index. The translation by Aubrey Selincourt is over forty years old but for my money is still easily enough digestetable for my 21st century short attention span. Also, the cover is an astute choice: showing a detail of David's THE SABINE WOMEN. Penguin does has such very good taste. As mentioned in another review of a Penguin Classic, even if you don't READ them, their books will never let you down just sitting there looking quite clever on the shelf and or on top of a pile of less aesthetically pleasing paperbacks. If you are reading up on ancient Rome for some reason or another, whether for school, boredom, researching the hows and whys to start a global empire, this is a fine start. Livy's first five books are perhaps not the most historical but they are without doubt a cracking read and Penguin has presented them in both an accessible and intelligent manner.

Classically Cool
It is surely not my place to be reviewing Herodotus but I think I can at least provide a few comments regarding this edition of his Histories. This is the Penguin 2003 revised edition and I have to say first off, it looks very pleasing from a presentation point of view. I prefer the old, all black Penguin look of the 60s and 70s and the new edition is a return to that in a sense with a slicker front cover. Even if you never read it, it will look terrific up there on your bookshelf or even more so if you take it with you to the coffee shop. Just set it right next to your latte and watch as people do a double take as they pass by, commenting to themselves, "blimey, what a cool looking book THAT is". Inside there are copious amounts of notes, an index, maps, a chronology of the various rulers of the different states discussed, several pages of books for "further reading" and a fine introduction. Best of all I feel is the "Structural Outline" which breaks down the individual books so you can easily find specific bits and bobs contained within. If you're an academic, you have surely already read Herodotus in the Ancient Greek so this isn't really the book for you in the first place. But if you're a student just dabbling in antiquity, an average sort of Joe or Joelene amateur historian type, or a poseur who just wants to look like an intellectual, then this Penguin Classics edition of THE HISTORIES is for you.
