From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Titus Livius (59 BC – AD 17), known as Livy in English, was a Roman historian who wrote a monumental history of Rome and the Roman people, Ab Urbe Condita Libri, "Chapters from the Foundation of the City," covering the period from the earliest legends of Rome well before the traditional foundation in 753 BC through the reign of Augustus in Livy's own time. He was on familiar terms with the Julio-Claudian family, advising Augustus' grandnephew, the future emperor Claudius, as a young man not long before AD 14 in a letter to take up the writing of history. Livy and Augustus' wife, Livia, were from the same clan in different locations, although not related by blood. LifeFrom Wikipedia under the

"The study of history is the best medicine for a sick mind; for in history you have a record of the infinite variety of human experience plainly set out for all to see; and in that record you can find yourself and your country both examples and warnings; fine things to take as models, base things rotten through and through, to avoid." -Livy Asked by last_errant_knight - Sun Jun 10 02:35:46 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A.

Well, he was born Titus Livius in Patavium (modern Padua) sometime around 60 BC. His major work was a history of Rome (called Ab Urbe Condita, or "From the Foundation of the City") from pre-foundation to Augustus's victory at Actium and his rule at Rome. Originally, he wrote 142 books on the subject (a book being whatever would fit onto a roll of papyrus) - we have 35 complete books and some fragments. He died in 17 BC, three years after Augustus. He writes the history as a series of "monumenta", (best translated as "moral examples") in order to turn modern readers (who of course are living in a time of great vice, according to Livy) to emulate the great men and… [cont.] Answered by ithyphallos - Wed Feb 28 20:23:44 2007 Whose account of the Punic Wars is more reliable?
Q. Livy or Polybius? Asked by Sir Jones - Mon Mar 24 23:18:01 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'd stick with Polybius, but you should read both of their accounts to arrive your own judgement. In the Punic Wars, it would be skeptical for us to use Livy's reference, since he was a Roman himself.
