From the Foundation of the City Vol. 01
by Titus Livius
Embark on a captivating journey through the monumental history of ancient Rome with Ab urbe condita, the masterwork of historian Titus Livius, known as Livy. This extraordinary narrative spans from the legendary tales of Aeneas and the city’s mythical founding around 753 BC to Livy’s contemporary era under Emperor Augustus. Although only about 25% of the original text remains, Livy’s storytelling has enchanted audiences for centuries, even inspiring a traveler from Cadiz to seek him out in Rome. His influence echoed through classical literature, with notable Roman authors, including Aurelius Victor and Orosius, drawing on his insights. While he celebrated the ideals of the republic, Livy also garnered favor from the Julio-Claudian dynasty, who saw him as a champion of traditional morality. Interest in his work diminished during the Middle Ages, yet the Renaissance ignited a revival, as figures like Petrarch and Pope Nicholas V sought to recover his manuscripts. Join us as we explore Li
