Titus Livius, known as Livy, wrote during the tumultuous time of the late Republic and early Empire, providing him with unique insights into Rome's political landscape. Born in 59 BCE in Patavium (modern Padua), his experiences with the political strife of his times informed his historical approach, which often emphasizes moral lessons as a means of guiding contemporary and future Roman leadership.
