Roman History

Titus Livius (59 BC - AD 17), known as Livy in English, was a Roman historian who wrote a history of Rome, Ab Urbe Condira which covers the years from its founding by Romulus and Remus (traditionally dated to 753 BC) through the reign of Augustus in Livy's own time. Roman History is written in a mixture of chronology and narrative styles. Livy's original manuscript included 142 books with only 35 surviving to modern times.
