Le cursus du centurion Spurius Ligustinus et la quatrième décade de l’Ab Vrbe Condita de Tite-Live
Résumé
While comparatively reading the cursus of the centurion Spurius Ligustinus, in book 42 of Livy’s Ab Vrbe Condita and the fourth decade, it appears that the former may be read as a summary or a table of contents of the latter. The many parallels between the cursus and Livy’s narrative reveal an underrated reshuffling of the historiographical material in this passage as well as a heavy auctorial presence and thus shed the light on the historiographical purposes and the methods of the historian.
