Livius is the nomen of an individual male of the Livia gens, a family of ancient Rome. Collectively they were termed the Livii (plural form). Any individual female was called Livia. Both male and female names might be qualified by one or more agnomina. Males in addition had a praenomen. The family preferred Marcus, Gaius, Lucius or Titus.

The Livii are known mainly from the Roman Republic. However, they must be much older as they descended into five branches designated by five agnomina: Denter, Drusus, Libo, Macatus and Salinator. The most famous were the Livii Drusi, who rose to imperial rank. Smith says (citing Suetonius) that the family was of plebeian origin, but was of great prominence in the Roman Republic, having been honoured with "eight consulships, two censorships, three triumphs, a dictatorship and a mastership of the horse."

A. Yes, he was. HIs well known work on the city of Rome is called Ad urbe condita. He did accept the technique of listing events apparently unrelated by the year in which they occurred.

Who do you believe the LOST statue is?

Christians, have you ever heard of Apolonius of Tyana?
Q. He lived in the early 1st century, healed the sick, walked through solid walls, could make himself understood in all languages and walk on water. He even ressurected a dead man once. Sound familiar? It should, these stories and myths have been around for a long time. Go ahead and take a look if you have the courage to do so. Trust me, there were plenty like him, and ALL of them were con-men. Apolonius has one thing that your jesus doesn't however; credible evidence of his existence. Sorry Suzanne I wasn't on very much last week. Care to elaborate or do you just want to keep boring me?
Asked by Yoda Green - Wed Sep 12 13:25:02 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. During that time there was also "credible evidence" for the existance of Jason, Hercules, & Perseus. The people then also believed they decended from nymphs and gods.

Titus Livius (around 59 BC - 17 AD), known as Livy in English, wrote a monumental history of Rome, Ab Urbe Condita, from its founding (traditionally dated to 753 BC) through the reign of Augustus.
