Who were famous Roman writer in Ancient History?
Some of the men who wrote Roman history were Roman and some were Greek. They emerged around 200 BC with Quintus Fabius Pictor who was the first historian. Polybius (Greek) wrote the history of Rome in the period of the three Punic Wars in the second century BC. The major writes of the early history of Rome were Livy (Roman) Dionysius of Halicarnassus (Greek) and Diodorus Siculus (Greek). They wrote in the 1st century BC and have been called annalist because they relied on the annals to reconstruct the previous centuries of Roman history.The main sources of information for the earlier Roman history were the annals and the fasti. During Roman Republic the Pontifex Maximus, the head of Roman state religion, kept the annales maximi. These annals recorded the key public events of the year (hence the name annals) and the names of each officer of state for that year. The Pontifex Maximus kept a detailed record and published an abbreviated version on a white board (tabula dealbata) outside the Regia, his residence, from the Republican period onward. The Romans also kept the fasti triumphales, a record of all Roman triumphs in battle, and, in the republican period, the fasti consulares, a list of all the consuls, the two annually elected heads of the city and the army during the Republic. The men who started writing the history of early Rome relied on these documents.Important historians in the first century AD were Tacitus, Pliny the Elder, Cassius Dio and Josephus (A Roman Jew). The major historians in the second century AD were Suetonius and Appian (Greek).The quality of historiography after this was not as good and there were many writers of brief histories, such as Aurelius Victor, Eutropius, Festus and Epitome de Caesaribus.The early Roman history also has mythologised accounts of important events. It is likely that these were stories which were passed on to the next generations orally and were written at a later stage. In oral tradition story telling was very important. Therefore, aspects of these stories were fictionalised and mythical elements were also inserted. They are often inaccurate as detailed memories were lost.Prestigious families also wrote their own family histories. Livy noted that these histories were untrustworthy because they usually were aimed at aggrandising the families.
How many years did a roman soldier have to serve?
In correction to someone else's claim, the average foot soldier ranged from 5'0 sometimes shorter to much taller. Excavations show the average height of a Roman male being around 5'5-ish, but what size samples are these? Some narcissistic emperors tried to recruit legions with a minimum height. Sometimes emperors used taller ethnicities as bodyguards for personal protection. They were kept with a watchful eye, but useful to intimidate smaller latins. Throughout the duration of the empire terms of service were constantly changed depending on the general, emperor, and legion. For example, some legions revolted after the Varian war and Augustus's death demanding to reduce the minimum time to 16 years and to receive higher pay. The ring leaders were executed under Germanicus. Under different times, and trials of the empire the terms of service were both extended and contracted. Early Roman Republic legions were largely levied, and disbanded after their use. Forced conscription was seen throughout the tenure of ancient Rome, and mostly done on the basis of age. Sometimes, latin, military-aged males were in such shortage that emperors killed a fraction of the population divided into 'lots' to force volunteers before having to forcibly conscript. Good sources are Casius Dio, Josephus, Tacitus, and Vegitius, but none should be taken as 'truth' as like any ancient historian their perspectives are very different and they may come from far off places with little such perpsective, and much embellishment of the true nature of events; if they had any truth at all. Dio, and Tacitus are very good.

Why diden't Budicca like the Romans?
According to the ancient historian Tacitus, Boudicca was flogged and her daughters were raped when the Romans decided to take over her kingdom when her husband Prasutagus, the king of Iceni, died. According to another ancient historian, Cassius Dio, Prasutagus had borrowed heavily from Roman financiers to finance his lavish lifestyle. When he died the creditors called in their loans and his subjects were liable for this large debt. The second story is more likely. Cassius Dio also said Seneca the Younger (the famous philosopher, dramatist and statesman) was among the creditors.
