Hey guys, I'm an avid player of EB 1.2 and am eagerly anticipating EB II:laugh4:
The sheer amount of historical information one can glean from the mod itself is astonishing, and as such I would like to ask the developers or fans of the mod a question-
I can't find anything about the Battle of Callicinus! All the web offers is that it was in 171 BC and ended with a Macedonian victory. They also point me to Livy 42.58-60, but as I do not have a copy of him and do not know where to obtain one, I'm at a loss. Any help or links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

You can find Livy online in several places, the years of Livy you are looking for are here http://oll.libertyfund.org/?option=com_staticxt&staticfile=show.php%3Ftitle=1758&chapter=92706&layout=html&Itemid=27

Most classic authors are online in lots of places and versions, it is always worth doing a Google search on "[Insert Author name] online".

Edited to add that if you do not want to google all the time, I have two links to the largest collections of classical authors I know of online on my blog here (http://turbator.blogspot.com/). Beware that it is a roleplaying blog, so do not take everything at face value- the links are good though.
