Latin historian whose 142 volume history of
the city of Rome [Ab Urbe Condita] became a classic in his
lifetime & influenced later writers of history. Only 35 volumes
survive. A politically independent man of wealth, Titus Livius' writing
focused on morality & character development, traits that won him the
support of Augustus
who invited him to tutor the young Claudius.
