 Dio Cassius on Scipio
Antias is mentioned by Livy (38.50.4) as a source for some of the old political problems of Scipio, including the Pleminius scandal.
It is clear that though Livy used Polybius for a portion of his account of the trials of the Scipios, he obviously had a fascination for the version of Antias, even though time and time again he emphatically pointed out the undependable nature of the material.
The propraetor left in charge at Locri, Q. Pleminius, behaved abominably, even plundering the temple of Proserpine, and in the outrage which ensued over the scandal, Scipio was distinctly implicated.

 Structuring Roman History: the Consular Year and the Roman Historical Tradition
Until recently it was held that the full impact of the Annales Maximi on the historical tradition followed their publication by P. Mucius Scaevola in the 120's, but Frier (1979) has refuted the theory that, when Scaevola stopped the keeping of the record, he also undertook its publication.
This is announced in programmatic fashion at the beginning of Book 2, associating the transition to the annalistic mode with the establishment of political liberty (2.1.1): liberi iam hinc populi Romani res pace belloque gestas, annuos magistratus...
However, there can be no question that a good deal of Livy's domestic material on the period derives ultimately from archives.

Several inscriptions from Padua mention members of the Livius family, but none of them can convincingly be connected to the historian.
The Christian author Jerome, an excellent chronographer, states that Livy was born in 59 BCE and died in 17 CE.
This, and his lack of political experience, would normally have disqualified Livy as a historian, but as we will see, he was able to write a very acceptable history.

 Livy - Biography
The chief effect is that Livy did not seek historical explanations in political terms.
Livy evolved a varied and flexible style that the ancient critic Quintilian characterized as a "milky richness." It is recorded that the audiences who went to his recitations were impressed by his nobility of character and his eloquence.
As his material became more complex, however, he abandoned this symmetrical pattern and wrote 142 books.

Augustus does not seem to have held these views against Livy, and entrusted his great-nephew, the future emperor Claudius, to his tutelage.
Certainly Livy questioned some of the values of the new regime but it is likely that his position was more complex than a simple 'republic/empire' preference.
Livy wrote the majority of his works during the reign of Caesar Augustus.

According to Livy, Attalus received the delegation warmly, "and conducted them to Pessinus in Phrygia" where he "handed over to them the sacred stone which the natives declared to be "the Mother of the Gods," and bade them carry it to Rome".
Polybius 18.41 also says that he lived 72 and reigned 44 years.

 Livy on Encyclopedia.com
Livy's history reflects his admiration for the civilization of early Rome, and his belief that the importance of history was its applicability to contemporary life.
His reputation and popularity are based on his elegant portraits of historical figures, his vivid depictions of events, his freedom of expression, and his masterly style (developed from Cicero).
He chose what seemed to him most authentic and credible, and presented it with the enthusiasm of a patriot in the form of annals.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.04.10
Although Livy demonstrates throughout his narrative that he is quite willing to criticize his sources openly, he can also make his own view quite clear without such pointed statements.
At 39.9 Livy writes: "Publius Aebutius, whose late father had served in the cavalry with a horse supplied by the state, had been left a ward.
There is no need to refute Antias at that point, because Livy has already made his view clear.

 Livy: Biography of Livy
In classing Livy in his proper place among the great historians of the ancient and modern world, we must not think of him as a critical antiquarian writer - a writer of scrupluously calm judgment and diligent research.
He does not rival Tacitus in portraiture or in tragic power, but no writer has ever surpassed him in the art of telling a story; and the speeches which, acccording to the antique fashion, he puts into the mouths of his historic characters, are singularly ingenious, pointed, and dramatically real.
His fame was so thoroughly established and widely spread even during his lifetime, that a Spaniard travelled from Gades to Rome only to see him.

 Spectacle and Society in Livy's History
Through analysis of several episodes in Livy's History, Andrew Feldherr demonstrates the ways in which Livy uses specific visual imagery to make the reader not only an observer of certain key events in Roman history but also a participant in those events.
In addition to renewing our understanding of Livy through modern scholarship, Feldherr provides a new assessment of the historian's aims and methods by asking what it means for the historian to make readers spectators of history.
In Spectacle and Society in Livy's History, Feldherr shows how Livy uses the literary representation of spectacles from the Roman past to construct a new sense of civic identity among his readers.

In this passage, from the beginning of his history of Rome, Livy outlines the exposure and preservation of the twins Romulus and Remus, who went on to establish the city of Rome.
Note, however, Livy's rationalizing interpretation of the "miraculous" element of the story.
It is this story that gave rise to the many depictions in art of the twins being suckled by a wolf.
