The main historian of the era of <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/biographies\/augustus\/\">Augustus<\/a>. He was widely respected at the imperial court. He was friends with the emperor himself, who &#8211; according to the historian <a title=\"Tacitus\" href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/biografie\/publiusz-korneliusz-tacyt\/\"><b>Tacitus<\/b><\/a> &#8211; jokingly referred to him as &#8220;Pompeian&#8221; because of his republican ideas.<\/p>\n<p>He came from a wealthy family and in his early youth, he moved to <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-geography\/roman-cities\/rome-eternal-city\/\">Rome<\/a>, where he received a careful upbringing as well as a philosophical and historical <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-society\/education-of-ancient-romans\/\">education<\/a>. He devoted his entire life to teaching rhetoric and writing, he was not interested in a political career. During his early youth, he was clearly sympathetic to optimiates. About 30 BCE he moved from Padua to Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Livy&#8217;s only legacy is a historical work describing the events from the founding of this city until 9 CE. The work was entitled &#8220;Books from the Founding of the City&#8221; (<em>Ab Urbe condita libri CXLII<\/em>) and had a volume of 142 volumes that were written and published successively from 26 BCE. until 17 CE About a quarter of this number has survived.<\/p>\n<table class=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color: #f2ebeb;\">\n<p class=\"podtytul\">Preserved works of Titus Livius<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>books I-X;<\/li>\n<li>books XXI-XLV;<\/li>\n<li>excerpt from book XCII;<\/li>\n<li>two excerpts from the CXX book;<\/li>\n<li>extracts (abbreviations) from the books: XI-XX, XXXVII-XL, XLVI-CXXXV, CXXXVIII-CXLII;<\/li>\n<li>extracts from the books of XLVIII-LV;<\/li>\n<li>summaries (the so-called <em>periochae<\/em>) of almost all but two books;<\/li>\n<li>a few fragments were preserved in other authors and on papyri.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>In his work, Livius used the available works of Greek and Roman historians (including <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/biographies\/polybius\/\">Polybius<\/a>, Celius Antipater, Valerius Antias, Fabius Piktor, Claudius Quadrigius, Lucius Elius Tubero, Calpurnius Piso or Gaius Licinius Macer), official documents of the <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-constitution\/roman-republic\/roman-offices\/roman-senate\/\">Senate<\/a>, military-diplomatic correspondence, diplomatic correspondence and the like, lost today source materials. For this reason, Livy&#8217;s work remains to this day one of the key sources to learn about the <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/article\/history-of-rome\/\">history of Rome<\/a> and the neighbouring countries.<br \/>\nIt is worth noting that it was Titus who gave us <a title=\"The legend of Romulus and Remus-The legend of the founding of Rome\" href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/kultura\/legendy-rzymskie\/legenda-o-romulusie-remusie\/\"><b>the legend of Romulus and Remus<\/b><\/a>, the legendary founders of Rome.<\/p>\n<p>He was a writer with a rhetorical attitude. He related the history of Rome through the prism of the victories and heroism of the Romans. His political sympathies leaned towards the rule of the senatorial oligarchy and from this point of view, he presented the most ancient history of Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Livy was also the author of philosophical writings and a rhetorical treatise, which he gave the form of a letter to his son. These works have not survived to our times.<\/p>\n<p>He died in 17 CE in his hometown of <em>Patavium<\/em>, to which he returned at the end of his life.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"summary\"><\/span>Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n    <div class=\"ramka_ze_zdjeciem float-right \"\n         style=\"\">\n\n        <div class=\"zdjecie\">\n            <img\n                class=\"ramka-ze-zdjeciem\"\n                src=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/titus.jpg\"\n                                alt=\"Bust of Titus Livius\"\n                width=\"250\"\n                height=\"248\"\n               \n               \n            \/>\n\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/titus.jpg\"\n               rel=\"fancybox\"\n               title=\"Bust of Titus Livius.\">\n                <div class=\"iover\">\n                    <div class=\"zicon\">\n                        <i class=\"fa fa-search-plus\"><\/i>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"opis\">\n                                Bust of Titus Livius.            <\/div>\n        \n        \n    <\/div>\n    \n<p>In ancient times, Titus Livius was highly appreciated by other authors.
