Where are the ancient texts kept? Like for example the texts of Livy that still survive?
Q. When books reference ancient historians I just wanted to know how much of these ancient texts actually exist in their original form and where are they kept? Historians like Livy, Seutonis, Pliny, etc.

A. In most cases none of the original texts survive. They are copies of copies of the original text. The British Library, British Museum, Bodleian Library. other Libraries and museums especially in the States have copies as well.

A. The works of the Roman authors serve as some of the only in depth records that we in modern world can use to see what Roman life, and more precisely Roman political figures were like. We have lots of archaeological and architectural evidence from Rome but that only tells us so much. The Roman authors, though their writings are sometimes suspect and exaggerated because they are emotionally driven and written still, give us an impression of the personalities of figures like Julius Caesar, Marcus Brutus, and Mark Antony. The later Roman emperors are described often as despots and while all of their "crazy" actions may not have been true they had to be based in fact at least in part.

Asked by Joe Schulz? - Fri May 15 02:32:39 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. While Livy's Histories are still a valuable primary source they are not entirely accurate. For example, when talking about the 7 kings of Rome Livy incorporates elements of myth (i.e. Romulus and Remus--the way he became ruler of Rome--divine ancestry/intervention etc). If you note the dates that each king was said to reign it is clear that Livy embellished the real story or made stuff up (or changed things) to fill the gaps in knowledge. i.e. each king is said to reign for about 40 years--too neat to be the truth --753-715 Romulus --715-673 Numa Pompilius --673-642 Tullus Hostilius --642-616 Ancus Marcius --616-578 Tarquinius Priscus --578-535 Servius Tullius --535-510 Tarquinius Superbus The books were also printed centuries after… [cont.]

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.
