Can anyone recommend me a good translation of Titus Livy's

the history of Rome podcast is the most easily accessible source for a general framework to look into the early Roman history, though it IS very condensed You should listen to it to get a general feel and introduction to the topic then look the particular names and events in it to get in depth.

I just found out about it a couple days ago. Going to give it a listen. I just rather read this stuff so I can get as much info as I can [spoiler]So my screenplay/script for a Punic Wars television epic will be as accurate as possible.[/spoiler]

And like you said, it probably condenses stuff a lot. I'd rather have too much info that I can shave the fat off of rather than too little and have nothing to work with.

it does help to look the sources he uses like Livy and Polybius, the later of which is a much better source since he is far more neutral and actually contemporary to the events of the Punic and Macedonian wars, but here, Livy

There are some youtube channels like Historia Civilis and Invicta that make pseudo-documentaries with all the same fluff and give you citations you can go off.

also if you plan to make a big epic on the punic wars, read Ad Astra.
