Abstract

Among the facts supplied by Livy and Dionysios are references to buildings and monuments of Rome. It is intention of the A. to discuss their sources for this topographical material and to show how they use such references as an integral part of the narrative. By evaluating their interests in this particular area, our understanding of their works is enhanced, and we may ultimately venture an estimate of their qualifications as Roman “archaeologists”.
