	Livy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Livy was a native of Padua on the Po River in northern Italy.
		He wrote in a mixture of annual chronology and narrative—often having to interrupt a story to announce the elections of new consuls as this was the way that the Romans kept track of the years.
		Livy's work was originally composed of 142 books, of which only 35 are extant; these are 1-10, and 21-45 (with major lacunae in 40-45).

		Livy began by composing and publishing in units of five books, the length of which was determined by the size of the ancient papyrus roll.
		In his letters the statesman Pliny the Younger records that Livy was tempted to abandon the enterprise but found that the task had become too fascinating to give it up; he also mentions a citizen of Cádiz who came all the way to Rome for the sole satisfaction of gazing at the great historian.
		Livy evolved a varied and flexible style that the ancient critic Quintilian characterized as a "milky richness." It is recorded that the audiences who went to his recitations were impressed by his nobility of character and his eloquence.

	Livy
		Livy was acquainted with the emperor Augustus, but scholars debate the extent to which they shared common goals.
		Above all, in considering Livy's choice of sources, one should remember that he is not an original researcher; his aim was to encase reliable facts ascertained by others in a worthy literary framework.

	Structuring Roman History: the Consular Year and the Roman Historical Tradition
		[1] Livy, it is held, organizes his annual narratives on a standard pattern structured round the consuls' movements, with a central section of external events sandwiched between opening and closing domestic sections, and these domestic sections include detailed accounts of various recurrent topics, some of a ceremonial character.
		Livy, it is supposed, took the pattern over from his annalistic predecessors, and it has usually been thought that it derived ultimately from the Annales Maximi, the record of events kept by the pontifex maximus.
		Livy himself evidently consulted only earlier historical writers, but the chronological structure and the wealth of domestic detail which he provides for the Middle Republic must derive ultimately from archival sources, exploited by one or more annalistic intermediaries and with a good deal of distortion and invention creeping in in the process.

		The Roman history of Livy is one of the greatest masterpieces of Latin, or of human composition.
		In classing Livy in his proper place among the great historians of the ancient and modern world, we must not think of him as a critical antiquarian writer - a writer of scrupluously calm judgment and diligent research.
		He is preeminently a man of beautiful genius, with an unrivalled talent for narration, who takes up the history of his country in the spirit of an artist, makes a free use of the materials lying handiest, for the creation of a work full of grace, color, harmony, and a dignified ease.

	Attalus I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to Livy, Attalus received the delegation warmly, "and conducted them to Pessinus in Phrygia" where he "handed over to them the sacred stone which the natives declared to be "the Mother of the Gods," and bade them carry it to Rome".
		Livy, History of Rome, Rev. Canon Roberts (translator), Ernest Rhys (Ed.); (1905) London: J. Dent and Sons, Ltd.
		Livy 33.21-22 says that Attalus died in the consulship of Cornelius and Minucius (197 BCE) at the age of 72, having reigned 44 years.

	Livy. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Livy’s history reflects his admiration for the civilization of early Rome, and his belief that the importance of history was its applicability to contemporary life.
		Livy’s accuracy is often questionable; he ignored certain sources and had little practical knowledge of military affairs or the workings of politics.
		His reputation and popularity are based on his elegant portraits of historical figures, his vivid depictions of events, his freedom of expression, and his masterly style (developed from Cicero).

		Livy's task was made the more difficult because of a lack of historical data prior to the sacking of Rome in 390 BC by the Gauls.
		Livy wrote the majority of his works under Augustus, but is often identified with an attachment to the Roman Republic and a desire for its restoration.
		Since we lack the later books discussing the end of the Republic and the rise of Augustus, this is a moot point.

		It makes Livy a near contemporary of the Roman politician Octavian, who was born in 63, became sole ruler of the Roman empire in 31, accepted the surname Augustus in 27, and died in 14 CE.
		That Livy was born in Patavium (modern Padua) is clear from Quintilian, the author of a nice book on the education of orators, who recorded that Livy never lost his Patavian accent.
		Livy, certainly, is most emphatic that this really happened.

		Livy (29.19.4) tells us that Scipio was the object of savage attacks by some of the leading senators.
		It is clear that though Livy used Polybius for a portion of his account of the trials of the Scipios, he obviously had a fascination for the version of Antias, even though time and time again he emphatically pointed out the undependable nature of the material.
		Antias is mentioned by Livy (38.50.4) as a source for some of the old political problems of Scipio, including the Pleminius scandal.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 95.09.13
		In "Livy: Life and Works" Kraus brings together the external information about Livy -- the inscriptions at Padua and the mentions of him in the works of Seneca, Quintilian, and Suetonius -- with the glimpses of himself that Livy offers in the praefatio and throughout the historical narrative.
		On the whole, Kraus compares Livy's narrative to a funeral procession in that many generations, many periods of the past come together as family members don the ancestral masks.
		Livy's use of Sextilis has nothing to do with avoiding anachronism -- it is the proper name of the month at the time of composition.

		Martha selected several blouses for Livy to try on and they both agreed that a pale pink one complimented both the jumper and Livy’s coloring to a T. It tied in a loose bow at the neckline, and Livy knew that a pearl pin her mother had given her would be the perfect accessory.
		Livy didn’t really mind as she was so happy to be back in the hustle and bustle of this house with its cozy warm fires and wonderful kitchen smells.
		Livy was trying to find a way to fit in here, to keep some of what she loved – in this case, discovering artifacts – a part of her life and he’d tossed them in the fire.

		Although Livy demonstrates throughout his narrative that he is quite willing to criticize his sources openly, he can also make his own view quite clear without such pointed statements.
		Livy says that the guardians, whom he does not identify but who may have been male paternal relatives, died.
		Livy specifically mentions that Rutilius' knowledge about the impending exposure of his mismanagement was the impetus for coercing Aebutius to become initiated in the cult (39.9).

		IDiscourses on Livy (1531) is as essential to an understanding of Machiavelli as his famous treatise, The Prince.
		Machiavelli's close analysis of Livy's history of Rome led him to advance his most original and outspoken view of politics - the belief that a healthy body politic was characterized by social friction and conflict rather than by rigid stability.
		His discussion of conspiracies in "Discourses on Livy" is one of the most sophisticated treatments of archetypal political upheaval every written.

		In The War with Hannibal, Livy (59 BC AD 17) chronicles the events of the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage, until the Battle of Zama in 202 BC.
		Yet it is also the clash of personalities that fascinates Livy, from great debates in the Senate to the historic meeting between Scipio and Hannibal before the decisive battle.
		Livy never hesitates to introduce both intense drama and moral lessons into his work, and here he brings a turbulent episode in history powerfully to life.
