* Gaius Livius, grandfather of the consul of 302 BC, may have been the [[magister equitum]] of 348.<ref>''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol. I, p. 993 ("[[s:Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology/Livius Denter|Livius Denter]]").</ref>
* Lucius Livius, tribune of the plebs in 320 BC, the year after the disaster at the [[Battle of Caudine Forks|Caudine Forks]]. The consul, [[Spurius Postumius Albinus Caudinus|Albinus]], had pledged himself and the other Roman magistrates as guarantors of the peace, in order to preserve the lives of the Roman army. Livius and one of his colleagues resisted the demand to turn themselves over to the [[Samnites]] as hostages, as they had nothing to do with the agreement, and moreover were sacrosanct as tribunes, the entire body of the Roman people obliged to defend them; but Postumius browbeat them until they agreed to become hostages. However, the Samnites rejected the hostages, when they realised that the Romans were bound to continue the war with or without them.<ref>Livy, ix. 8–11.</ref>
* Marcus Livius Denter, [[Roman consul|consul]] in 302 BC. Previously he had been one of the pontiffs chosen from the plebeians to augment the numbers of that college.<ref>Livy, x. 9.</ref>
