About this person
Titus Livius was born in 59 BC and spent his life reconstructing Rome's past in a work called Ab Urbe Condita, "From the Founding of the City." It stretched from the earliest legends before Rome's traditional founding in 753 BC all the way through the reign of Augustus, the emperor he knew personally. Augustus kept him close, and Livy was friendly enough with the Julio-Claudian dynasty to encourage the young Claudius - future emperor himself - to try his hand at history. Livy died in AD 17, leaving behind a monumental chronicle that shaped Roman memory for centuries.
