Pacuvius was a [[Patrician (ancient Rome)|patrician]] who had married a daughter of [[Appius Claudius Pulcher (consul 212 BC)|Appius Claudius]].<ref>Livy, xxiii. 2.</ref> * Marcus Livius Macatus, placed by the propraetor [[Marcus Valerius Laevinus]] in charge of the garrison at [[Taranto|Tarentum]] in 214 BC, during the [[Second Punic War]]. When the town was lost to a surprise attack in 212, Livius and his soldiers retreated to the citadel, where they held out until the city was retaken by [[Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus|Quintus Fabius Maximus]] in 209. On the question of whether Livius should be punished or rewarded for his conduct, Fabius replied that he could not have recaptured Tarentum but for Livius' actions.<ref>Livy, xxiv. 20, xxv. 9, 10, 11, xxvi. 39, xxvii. 25, 34.</ref><ref>Appian, ''Bellum Hannibalicum'', 32.</ref><ref>Polybius, viii. 27.

He wrote nothing of his family, and other historians have contributed only that he was from [[Padua|Patavium]], and that he had at least one son, and a daughter who married a certain Lucius Magius. Two inscriptions from Patavium in the ''[[Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum]]'' are thought to mark the resting place of Livy and several members of his family.<ref name="CIL V 2975">{{CIL|5|2975}}</ref> * Titus Livius T. f. Priscus, thought to be the historian's elder son.<ref name="CIL V 2975"/> * Titus Livius T. f. Longus, perhaps the historian's younger son.<ref name="CIL V 2975"/> * Livia T. f. Quarta, perhaps a daughter of the historian. If she is the same daughter who married Lucius Magius, there is no indication of it on her monument.<ref name="CIL V 2965">{{CIL|5|2965}}</ref> * Titus Livius Liviae Quartae l. Halys, freedman of Livia Quarta. His funeral plaque was unearthed at the monastery of St. Justina at Padua in 1360, followed in 1413 by the excavation of a lead coffin in the same location, containing a human skeleton. Owing to a misunderstanding of the tablet's inscription, the remains were supposed to belong to the historian, rather than a freedman, until further excavations at Padua explained the inscription's true meaning.<ref name="CIL V 2965"/><ref>''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol.
