HIST 2100 Study Guide - Final Guide: Titus Tatius, Vestal Virgin, Jupiter Indiges
Document Summary
Livy says: whether or not his desire to study roman history will reward him, livy, like many other writers, writes in hopes of surpassing their predecessor in style, narrative and ability. Even is his writing is shadowed, he will console himself by saying he went up against the best. Readers may think my histories as boring, and wish i hurry to modern day issues. He will do everything he can to discover the truth and cover his eyes to modern day distractions. Whether or not previous texts on roman history are truthful or not he will not judge. He writes in hopes that his readers will focus on the morals of the community, the men and qualities of domestic policy and how it degrades. History is a good subject to look into as it allows generations to learn and imitate what is good or bad. Especially the greed and luxury in humans, who only coveted if it benefits them.
