About this listen

 In Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius, the posthumous work of the renowned author of The Prince, Machiavelli delves into the valuable lessons history offers for contemporary governance.

Comprising three books and 142 numbered chapters‚an intriguing parallel to Livy‚s own extensive history‚Machiavellis analysis sheds light on the internal dynamics of Rome shaped by public counsel. Join us as we uncover the timeless wisdom embedded in the annals of history. - Summary by Leni
