Valerius Antias, Roman annalist, a younger contemporary of Quadrigarius, wrote the history of Rome from the earliest times, in a voluminous work consisting seventy-five books.
For instance, asserts the number of the Sabine virgins to have been exactly 7; again, in a certain year when no Greek or Latin writers mention any important campaign, Antias speaks of a big battle with enormous casualties.
Nevertheless, Livy at first made use him as one of his chief authorities, until he became convinced his untrustworthiness.

 Dio Cassius on Scipio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Antias is mentioned by Livy (38.50.4) as a source for some of the old political problems of Scipio, including the Pleminius scandal.
In addition to scandal, Antias was well known for exaggeration, particularly of casualty numbers, prisoners of war, etc. and Livy (26.49.1), in dealing with Scipio’s capture of Nova Carthago, characterizes Antias’; tallies with the comment that there was really no limit to his lies.
Valerius Antias preserves a very large part of the rhetorical assaults aimed at Scipio by his opponents, and though we usually follow Livy’s lead in rejecting Antias’; information, he does give us some insight into the other, non-Polybian, versions of the story.

According to Valerius Antias, he was sent, after his condemnation and the sale of his property, as special commissioner to settle the differences between Antiochus and Eumenes, and whilst he was on this mission contributions in money were made for him, and actors gathered together from all parts of Asia.
Valerius, the Flamen, who had been an unsuccessful candidate the year before, was in any case to have one of the two jurisdictions in Rome; he drew the alien jurisdiction.

 Structuring Roman History: the Consular Year and the Roman Historical Tradition
It is usually supposed that Valerius' and Claudius' works were broadly similar in character and that both organized their year narratives on the pattern with which we are familiar from the later extant books of Livy.
Valerius Antias was thus Livy's source both for the bulk of his domestic material on the Middle Republic and for the chronological framework of the consular year.
Valerius incorporated this into his work along with much distortion and invention and shaped it into a narrative with a regular, formal structure which purported to follow the progression of events through the consular year and in particular the consuls' movements between Rome and their provinces.

According to Valerius Antias, 5000 of the enemy were killed, but either this is an unblushing fiction, or its omission in the annalists shows great carelessness.
Valerius Laevinus, who had filled two consulships, declared that they had come as spies and not as envoys, and he urged that they should be ordered to leave Italy and escorted by a guard to their ships, and that written instructions should be sent to Scipio not to relax hostilities.
Valerius Antius says that he was defeated by Scipio in the first battle with a loss of 12,000 killed and 1700 taken prisoners, and that after this he went in company with ten delegates to Scipio's camp.

If we are to believe Valerius, who is given to boundless exaggeration, 40,000 of the enemy were killed and - here his invention is not so wild - 5700 made prisoners and 249 standards captured.
Valerius Antias further states that the island of Aegina and the elephants were given to Attalus, and that Stratonice and the other cities in Caria which Philip had held were given to the Rhodians, and the islands of Lemnos, Imbros, Delos and Scyros to the Athenians.
According to Valerius Antias over 40,000 men were killed in that battle, 801 standards captured, together with 732 wagons and a large number of gold chains.

Valerius Antias wrote the history of the Roman people in 75 books, of which 66 fragments survive.
Forsythe concludes that Antias was writing his early Republican history between the years 66 and 44 BC, and draws upon a similar discussion by T. Wiseman to limit this particular activity to 63-46 BC,

After consideration of the stories concerning the Salii, the binding of Picus and Faunus, and Numa's evocation of Jupiter Elicius in Plutarch, Valerius Antias, and Varro, she argues that Varro first emphasises the poetic / artistic side of the word vates through his depiction of Numa.
Valerius Maximus too, despite excerpting material from Cicero and Livy, does not doubt the intervention of gods in human affairs.
The overlap between genres is less surprising if, like Mueller's recent contribution to the study of Valerius Maximus,[[4]] we accept that there was an element of genuine belief in Roman religion.

According to Valerius Antias, Villius, finding a frontal attack impossible as every approach was blocked by the king's troops, entered the ravine and marched along the river.

But Philip's ambassadors being taken, and the affair thus discovered, the Romans ordered Marcus Valerius Laevinus to proceed to Macedonia, and Titus Manlius, as proconsul, into Sardinia; for that island also, at the solicitation of Hannibal, had revolted from the Romans.
In the consulate of Quintus Caecilius and Lucius Valerius, all the cities in the territory of the Bruttii, which were in the possession of Hannibal, surrendered to the Romans.
In the fourteenth year after Hannibal s invasion of Italy, Scipio, who had achieved such successes in Spain, was created consul, and sent into Africa; a man in whom there was thought to be something divine, so that he was even imagined to hold converse with the gods.

At 36.36 he records what Valerius Antias wrote.
There is no need to refute Antias at that point, because Livy has already made his view clear.
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.

Much of it (there is no dispute about this) is the kind of freely-imagined detail which the ancient historiographical rules allowed and encouraged, composed to suit the predilections of the writer's audience.
Tim Cornell has argued, reasonably enough, that by the time we get to the `expansionists' (Gellius, Valerius Antias, etc., in the first century) it was too late to make substantial changes.
[1] Livy, who cites Valerius Antias 35 times, accuses him at least once (30.19.11) of shamelessly inventing a body-count for a Hannibalic battle where no other source could cite a figure.
