Livy (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.
