Summary
Historiography I have split into two chapters, putting Livy in a separate chapter. Sallust and Tacitus are kept together because of the commonplace view that Tacitus was influenced by Sallust, and the pair will be compared at the end of the chapter (6). A brief treatment of the remains of the early annalists precedes that of Sallust.
