LIVY (Titus Livius) the great Roman

historian was born at or near Patavium

(Padua) in 59 B.C. and from early manhood

onwards lived mostly at Rome until

shortly before his death in A.D. 17, and

although never in sympathy with the

establishment of the imperial age by

Augustus became a friend of that emperor.

His only extant work is part of his history

of Rome (which he called Annales) from

the foundation of the city to 9 B.C. in

142 books. Of them we have in number

35 only, and short summaries of all the

rest except two. The whole work was,

long after his death, divided into Decades

or series of 10. Books i-io we have

entire ; books 11-20 are lost ; books 2 i -45

are entire, except parts of 41 and 43. Of

the rest only fragments and the summaries

remain. In splendid style Livy, a man of

wide sympathies and proud of Rome's

past, presented an uncritical but clear

and living narrative of the rise of Rome to

greatness.
