LivyDefinition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary Jump to: navigation, searchFrom 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 14 AD 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. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by Caitlin - Mon May 17 22:52:37 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Livy had access to the State Archives when he was compiling his 'History of Rome.' As many of those records are now lost to us, most Classical scholars and historians tend to take Livy at face value, as his work is the surviving source closest in time to early Roman history and was compiled from primary source documents (or so Livy tells us).

Asked by pssst=] - Mon Dec 22 23:43:17 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. 1. Livy is seen as an important source by historians. However, modern historians criticize Livy's failure to search out and evaluate the original documentary evidence. He most probably didn't consult the state archives or private archives to write his history. He mostly used literary sources. He had no military experience, and his geographical knowledge is very limited. He didn't visit the places he was talking about to conduct local investigations, which Polybius found indispensable for a historian. Livy didn't do any personal investigation and his account is entirely based on the works of his predecessors. However, it is appreciated that he didn't just accept what his predecessors said without criticism.
