The History of Rome, also known as Ab Urbe Condita (English: From the Founding of the City), is a monumental work written in Latin by the Roman historian Titus Livius, commonly referred to as “Livy.” This historical account covers ancient Rome and spans from its foundation to the events of the fourth century BCE. Livy vividly portrays the great characters, legends, and tales, including the story of Romulus and Remus. The work delves into the life, morals, and political struggles of the Roman community, tracing the rise and decline of this influential civilization over more than 700 years.
