I think a lot of the very ancient history of Livy is considered just stories of legend and often included a lot of embellishments to create a mystique and Roman pride.

I think when the Gauls sacked Rome in the early 4th century BCE (390-387 ish), so much of the recorded history at the time was lost which is sad. I bet a lot of the Etruscan history was lost there too…though I know emporer Claudius wrote up a history of the Etruscans, but that too is lost.

Do you know how true this story of Lucretia is?
