             D. Livy.
             Livy was a Roman who wrote in approx. the mid 30's he was very patriotic and pro Rome. He lived from 64 BC- 17AD. He wrote The History of Rome from its Foundation.
             Livy attempted to inspire those of the present to live a good life the way that those who had lived before in his 800 year histories. These histories attempted to detail the great deeds of heroes and villains previously of the Roman Empire. This is the same idea Herodotus used to write except of course Herodotus was pro Athens.
             Livy's account of the Roman Empire extended 142 books. His sources were based on other sources in the political world, and were often flawed. Livy accepted the involvement of the Gods in his causation. such as Roman King Tullus Hostilius died after offending the god Jupiter Elicius.

             E. Bede.

God directed all human action and some people stray and are in need of guidance. Our histories of Bede are very biased towards God. We often here of miracles, which many modern historians criticize the texts value to us, but in reality, without Bede's work we would know litte of the middle ages because of the low literacy rates.
