history paper | Get Quick Solution

I’m studying for my History class and need an explanation.

Please write a 1500-2000 word essay (typed and double-spaced). Use APA documentation for any non-ancient sources you choose to cite, and the prescribed format handed out earlier for ancient sources. Do not employ lengthy direct quotes. This is not intended to be a research paper but rather to encourage you to engage with ancient sources.

Read Livy’s accounts of Tarquinius Superbus and his expulsion after the rape of Lucretia by his son, Sextus Tarquinius (1.49-60), and the behavior of the Decemviri, particularly Appius Claudius’ attempt to seize Verginia (3.33-3.54). Perfectly usable translations are available at http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/txt/ah/livy/ Keeping in mind that some of these events were probably more of a legendary than historical nature, what important messages of these episodes would Livy, writing in the mid-late first century BC, have seen as especially important for his own times?
