Question

Why did the writings of the poet Virgil and the historian Livy focus on the rise and fall of Roman power? They wanted to arouse patriotism and restore traditional Roman virtues. They wanted to elevate Roman history above Greek history. They wanted Rome's enemies to fear its power. They wanted to revise Roman history to reveal Rome's cruelty.

Answer 1

Titus Livius Patavinus (/ˈlɪviəs/; Classical Latin: [ˈtɪ.tʊs ˈliː.wi.ʊs]; 64 or 59 BC – AD 12 or 17) – often rendered as Titus Livy, or simply Livy (/ˈlɪvi/), in English language sources – was a Roman historian. He wrote a monumental history of Rome and the Roman people – Ab Urbe Condita Libri (Books from the Foundation of the City) – covering the period from the earliest legends of Rome before the traditional foundation in 753 BC through the reign of Augustus in Livy's own lifetime. He was on familiar terms with members of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, advising Augustus's grandnephew, the future emperor Claudius, as a young man not long before 14 AD in a letter to take up the writing of history.[1]
