In the Preface to his history of Rome Livy stated that the most valuable feature of history is that it provides "omnis ... exempli documenta" for readers to follow and avoid* I do not believe that Livy meant no more than that his readers could extract "exempla" at random from his history} rather I take these words to refer to the actual occurrences of "exemplum" and "documentum" within his work. Several passages show that Livy intended these words to be taken closely together. They often appear in key positions within individual speeches, episodes and books and in passages which echo the moral tone of the Preface. Almost every occurrence of these words can be grouped with others under one of 26 subject-headings. While a few occurrences were suggested to Livy by his immediate sources, it seems likely that the majority were derived from lists of "exempla" drawn up before he began to write his history. Possibly he had made use of the collection of "Exempla" recently produced by Cornelius Nepos. By using as a basis these headings and the many later works for which Livy was a major source, I have suggested several contexts and passages from the lost books in which Livy is likely to have inserted "exemplum" or "documentum". -- Several other ancient historians used such words in a similar fashion but, unlike Livy, concentrated on only a few topics each. Whereas almost every occurrence of these words in Livy can be grouped with others under a specific heading, this is possible with only a minority of the occurrences in any other history. It seems, therefore, that "exemplum" and "dooumentum" meant far more to Livy than such words meant to the other ancient historians and that their appearance in his Preface involved more than the repetition of a commonplace.

This volume unites scholars of classical epigraphy, papyrology, and literature to analyze the documentary habit in the Roman Empire. Texts like inscriptions and letters have gained importance in classical scholarship, but there has been limited analysis of the imaginative and sociological dimensions of the ancient document. Individual chapters investigate the definition of the document in ancient thought, and how modern understandings of documentation may (mis)shape scholarly approaches to documentary sources in antiquity. Contributors reexamine familiar categories of ancient documents through the lenses of perception and function, and reveal where the modern understanding of the document departs from ancient conceptions of documentation. The boundary between literary genres and documentary genres of writing appears more fluid than prior scholarship had allowed. Compared to modern audiences, inhabitants of the Roman Empire used a more diverse range of both non-textual and textual forms of documentation, and they did so with a more active, questioning attitude. The interdisciplinary approach to the "mentality" of documentation in this volume advances beyond standard discussions of form, genre, and style to revisit the document through the eyes of Greco-Roman readers and viewers.
