Titus livius, commonly known as livy, was one of the greatest historians of ancient rome His monumental work, ab urbe condita (from the founding of the city), chronicles the history of rome from its legendary beginnings to his contemporary period during the reign of augustus. Livy lived through one of the most tumultuous periods in roman history The assassination of julius caesar, the civil wars, and the eventual rise of augustus as the first emperor all occurred during his lifetime. Livy’s approach to historical writing was unique and harkened to the writings of aristotle and thucydides His writing focuses on the characters of persons rather than simple, annalistic approaches of his predecessors, who were largely influenced by politics. Livy evolved a varied and flexible style that the ancient critic quintilian characterized as a milky richness. at one moment he will set the scene in long, periodic clauses At another a few terse, abrupt sentences will mirror the rapidity of the action. Livy employed annalistic features to associate his history with the dominant traditional of roman history, which was to write these annalistic chronicles In so doing, he imbued his history with an aura of continuity and stability along with pontifical authority.
