Book excerpt: Ammianus (c. 325-c. 395 CE), a Greek from Antioch, served many years as an officer in the Roman army, then settled in Rome, where he wrote a Latin history of the Roman Empire. The portion that survives covers twenty-five years in the historian's own lifetime: the reigns of Constantius, Julian, Jovian, Valentinian I, and Valens. Ammianus Marcellinus, ca. 325-ca. 395 CE, a Greek of Antioch, joined the army when still young and served under the governor Ursicinus and the emperor of the East Constantius II, and later under the emperor Julian, whom he admired and accompanied against the Alamanni and the Persians. He subsequently settled in Rome, where he wrote in Latin a history of the Roman empire in the period 96-378 CE, entitled Rerum Gestarum Libri XXXI. Of these 31 books only 14-31 (353-378 CE) survive, a remarkably accurate and impartial record of his own times. Soldier though he was, he includes economic and social affairs. He was broadminded towards non-Romans and towards Christianity. We get from him clear indications of causes of the fall of the Roman empire. His style indicates that his prose was intended for recitation. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Ammianus Marcellinus is in three volumes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman History of Ammianus Marcellinus; Translated by C. D. Yonge. Ammianus Marcellinus (325/330-after 391) was a fourth-century Roman soldier and historian. History during the Reigns of the Emperors Constantius, Julian, Jovianus, Valentinian, and Valens. Of Ammianus Marcellinus, the writer of the following History, we know very little more than what can be collected from that portion of it which remains to us. From that source we learn that he was a native of Antioch, and a soldier; being one of the prefectores domestici-the body-guard of the emperor, into which none but men of noble birth were admitted. He was on the staff of Ursicinus, whom he attended in several of his expeditions; and he bore a share in the campaigns which Julian made against the Persians. After that time he never mentions himself, and we are ignorant when he quitted the service and retired to Rome, in which city he composed his History. We know not when he was born, or when he died, except that from one or two incidental passages in his work it is plain that he lived nearly to the end of the fourth century: and it is even uncertain whether he was a Christian or a Pagan; though the general belief is, that he adhered to the religion of the ancient Romans, without, however, permitting it to lead him even to speak disrespectfully of Christians or Christianity. His History, which he divided into thirty-one books (of which the first thirteen are lost, while the text of those which remain is in some places imperfect), began with the accession of Nerva, A.D. 96, where Tacitus and Suetonius end, and was continued to the death of Valens, A.D. 378, a period of 282 years.

Book excerpt: This is the first book on Ammianus to place equal emphasis on the literary and historical aspects of his writing. Barnes assesses Ammianus' depiction of historical reality by simultaneously investigating both the historical accuracy and the literary qualities of the Res Gestae. He examines its structure and arrangement, emphasizes its Greek, pagan, and polemical features, and points out the extent to which Ammianus drew on his imagination in shaping the narrative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ammianus Marcellinus is one of the most important historians of Antiquity. While little is known of Marcellinus' life other than what can be gleaned from his writings, he is thought to have been born in the early 320s and lived until at least 391. Marcellinus documented the history of Rome from the year 96 until 378, however the writings covering the period until 353 have since been destroyed. This book begins with Book XIV, which is the first book of Marcellinus' that still exists today. Modern scholars have deemed Marcellinus' work to be a relatively accurate account, and it remains one of the most important sources of history from this time period. Marcellinus writes in a surprisingly concise style, and it is clear that he intended his work to be digested by a large audience. This collection contains eighteen of Marcellinus's books, and is concluded with a detailed index. At more than six hundred pages, this is no light history. Marcellinus work is a gold mine of information, and has informed the work of countless historians throughout history. While the author is never able to truly mask his rhetoric, his accounts are even-handed, and will likely continue to serve as valuable sources of information for years to come. Readers interested in the history of Rome owe it to themselves to read The Roman History of Ammianus Marcellinus. As one of the only surviving history texts from the period of Antiquity, there are few historical resources as valuable as this one. Marcellinus's work is an absolute must read for any serious student or scholar of history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
