Livy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Titus Livius, an early 20th century depiction. Titus Livius (traditionally 59 BC – AD 17 ), known as Livy in English , was a Roman historian who wrote a monumental history of Rome, Ab Urbe Condita , from its founding (traditionally dated to 753 BC) through the reign of Augustus in Livy's own time. Contents Life and works Reception Politics References and further reading ... edit Life and works Livy was a native of Patavium (modern Padua, Italy ) in Cisalpine Gaul . He was married and had at least two children. He died in his native town, some record as AD 11 or AD 16–17. The title of his most famous work, Ab Urbe Condita ("From the Founding of the City"), expresses the scope and magnitude of Livy's undertaking. 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 claims that lack of historical data prior to the sacking of Rome in 387 BC by the Gauls made his task more difficult.

He was born about 59 BC in Patavium (modern Padua) in Northern Italy, where he spent the early part of his life. He is said to have written philosophical dialogues in his youth (Elder Seneca, Controversiae 10 Praef. 2), but his fame rests on his 142 book history of Rome, called Ab Urbe Condita From the Founding of the City ), which he began to write around 29 BC, after he had moved to Rome. As far as we know, Livy never held public office nor played a role in public life. Livy was acquainted with the emperor Augustus, but scholars debate the extent to which they shared common goals. The later Roman historian Tacitus ( Annals 4. 34) reports that Augustus called Livy a "Pompeian", i.e. thought that he had Republican sympathies. We also hear that Livy encouraged the future emperor Claudius in his historical studies (Suetonius

home index ancient Rome Livy (1) Livy ( Titus Livius or Livy (59 BCE - 17 CE): Roman historian, author of the authorized version of the history of the Roman republic. Life The life of Titus Livius (or Livy, to use his more common English name), is not well known. Almost everything we know about the author of the voluminous History of Rome from its foundation is derived from a handful of anecdotes recorded by later authors, who may have found them in a (now lost) book by the Roman biographer Suetonius called Historians and philosophers . Nevertheless, we know something about Livy's life, and that is more than we can say about several other important ancient authors (e.g., Homer Life Scope of the History ... Periochae Bust of Octavian/Augustus as high priest. Museo Nacional de Arte Romano, The Christian author Jerome, an excellent chronographer, states that Livy was born in 59 BCE and died in 17 CE. There is no evidence to contradict this piece of information. 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.

Even there, however, every section of the defences had been equipped with various missile-throwing machines, all at the expense and by the forethought of Hiero over many years, aided by the unique engineering skill of Archimedes. Moreover, the nature of the ground helped the defence, in that the rocky cliff on which the foundations of the wall are built is mostly so steep that not only missiles hurled from catapults but even such as were allowed to roll down the cliff by their own weight, took deadly effect on the enemy below. The same reason rendered an approach to the walls difficult and gave but an insecure foothold to the attacker. Thus it was that at a council of war the decision was reached to abandon the assault, as all attempts were baffled, and to confine operations to a blockade by sea and land.

Back to Ancient History Sourcebook Ancient History Sourcebook: Roman Religious Toleration: The Senatus Consultum de Bacchanalibus , 186 BCE Livy, History of Rome , Book XXXIX There was a freedwoman called Hispala Fecenia, a noted courtesan, but deserving of a better lot than the mode of life to which she had been accustomed when very young and a slave, and by which she had maintained herself since her manumission. As they lived in the same neighborhood, an intimacy subsisted between her and Aebutius, which was far from being injurious to either to the young man's character or property; for he had been loved and wooed by her unsolicited; and as his friends supplied his wants illiberally, he was supported by the generosity of this woman; nay, to such a length did she go under the influence of her affection, that, on the death of her patron, because she was under the protection of no one, having petitioned the tribunes and praetors for a guardian, when she was making her will, she constituted Aebutius her sole heir. When he came home, and his mother made mention of such things pertaining to the ceremony as were to be performed on that day and on the several following days, he told her that he would not perform any of them, nor did he intend to be initiated. His stepfather was present at this discourse. Immediately the woman observed, that

Livy 64 or 59 BC - AD 17 itus Livius' history of Rome became a classic in his own lifetime and exercised a profound influence on the style and philosophy of historical writing down to the 18th century. His family apparently did not belong to the senatorial class and Livy does not seem to have embarked on a political or forensic profession. He is first heard of in Rome after Augustus had restored stability and peace to the empire by his decisive naval victory at Actium in 31 BC. Most of his life must have been spent at Rome, and at an early stage he attracted the interest of Augustus and was even invited to supervise the literary activities of the young Claudius (the future emperor). In one of the few recorded anecdotes about him, Augustus called him a "Pompeian", implying an outspoken and independent turn of mind. 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. As his material became more complex, however, he abandoned this symmetrical pattern and wrote 142 books. Books 11-20 and 46-142 have been lost. The later books after Book 45 are known only from summaries. 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 was unique among Roman historians in that he played no part in politics. This deprived him of firsthand access to much material that was preserved in official quarters. The chief effect is that Livy did not seek historical explanations in political terms. The novelty and impact of his history lay in the fact that he saw history in personal and moral terms.

Livy's golden years on radio By Noel Crusz (From Australia) Island 29 Nov 1998 In 1936 at eighteen he won the Senior Reading Prize at Royal College where he was a prefect. Now at eighty this great-grandfather is still riding the radio waves in a nine hour shift at FM's 'Capital Radio' and ''Savana''. Livy Wijemanne's story is enthralling for it reflects the golden years of Ceylon broadcasting. Livy is more than a pioneer: he set the trend which others followed. Not long ago the Director General of the Ceylon Broadcasting Corporation Eric Fernando presented Livy with a special award at the ''Obe Katahande Thama Mathakai ' ceremony held at the Tower Hall. As a tribute to the Radio Ceylon announcers of 1950 to 1998 it was a significant event. Livy as an announcer has had no equal: he trudged the coir -matted studios of Colombo Radio in Cotta Road, where Isabel de Kretser and Ned Rankine ruled the roost in the early thirties. The Scottish born Isabel who was the world's first woman announcer was watched by Livy as she broadcast the abdication of Edward VIII. Livy admits that she was a remarkable announcer with a voice that has hardly been equalled. In my years in the ministry of the Catholic church I witnessed the sweeping changes in Radio Ceylon and the part that Livy Wijemanne played in its transition. His saga started on October 31 st 1948. The Post Master General (who was also Director of Broadcasting) summoned the young announcer and invited him to become the Assistant Controller of Programmes. A year later in 1949 the BBC's John Lampson was on a contract to organise Radio Ceylon which moved from Cotta Road to Torrington Square.
