 Many years later, Asinius Pollio derisively commented on Livy's "patavinity", saying that Livy's Latin showed certain "provincialisms" frowned on at Rome.Pollio's dig may have been the result of bad feelings he harboured toward the city of Patavium from his experiences there during the civil wars.Livy probably went to Rome in the 30s BC, and it is likely that he spent a large amount of time in the city after this, although it may not have been his primary home.
