(59 b.c.–a.d. 17) Roman A Roman historian
born as Titus Livius, in Padua, Italy. Livy is best
remembered for his 142 books on the history of Rome.
Livy was most concerned with showing Rome's destiny
as the greatest power in the Mediterranean world.
Modern scholars point out Livy's reliance on legend
to tell the earliest histories and the inaccuracies in
his works. However, Livy's histories, of which only 36
complete volumes have survived, were highly regarded
during his time and by medieval European scholars.
