This 150-caption takes you on a journey through various artistic representations and historical artifacts that shed light on the life and works of this influential figure. The first hint transports us to the year 1783, where we witness an intense scene depicted in oil on canvas. "Virginius About to Kill his Daughter" captures the emotional turmoil faced by a father torn between love and duty - a theme often explored by Livy in his writings. Moving forward, we encounter Ms 777 Monk intently copying a manuscript from "The History of Rome. " This glimpse into the meticulous process behind preserving Livy's words reminds us of his lasting impact on Roman literature. An engraving showcasing Titus Livius himself offers us a rare visual representation of this esteemed historian. His dignified countenance hints at the wisdom and depth found within his written accounts. "The Triumph of Camillus, " created by Biagio d Antonio around c. 1470-1475, transports us to an era when military conquests were celebrated with grandeur, and is through such triumphs that Livy masterfully narrated Rome's rise as a dominant power. A medal featuring Livy's portrait further emphasizes his enduring legacy. As it graces the pages of "Tibere ou les six premiers, " it serves as a testament to how he continues to inspire generations even centuries later. Delving deeper into history, we stumble upon "Deche di Tito Livio vulgare hystoriate" from April 16th, 1511 - an invaluable artifact that showcases early attempts at translating and disseminating Livy's work among wider audiences.
