Book Synopsis The Roman Historians by : Ronald Mellor
Download or read book The Roman Historians written by Ronald Mellor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-31 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Romans' devotion to their past pervades almost every aspect of their culture. But the clearest image of how the Romans wished to interpret their past is found in their historical writings. This book examines in detail the major Roman historians: * Sallust * Livy * Tacitus * Ammianus as well as the biographies written by: * Nepos * Tacitus * Suetonius * the Augustan History * the autobiographies of Julius Caesar and the Emperor Augustus. Ronald Mellor demonstrates that Roman historical writing was regarded by its authors as a literary not a scholarly exercise, and how it must be evaluated in that context. He shows that history writing reflected the political structures of ancient Rome under the different regimes.
Book Synopsis The Later Roman Empire by : Ammianus Marcellinus
Download or read book The Later Roman Empire written by Ammianus Marcellinus and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-07-01 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ammianus Marcellinus was the last great Roman historian, and his writings rank alongside those of Livy and Tacitus. The Later Roman Empire chronicles a period of twenty-five years during Marcellinus' own lifetime, covering the reigns of Constantius, Julian, Jovian, Valentinian I, and Valens, and providing eyewitness accounts of significant military events including the Battle of Strasbourg and the Goth's Revolt. Portraying a time of rapid and dramatic change, Marcellinus describes an Empire exhausted by excessive taxation, corruption, the financial ruin of the middle classes and the progressive decline in the morale of the army. In this magisterial depiction of the closing decades of the Roman Empire, we can see the seeds of events that were to lead to the fall of the city, just twenty years after Marcellinus' death.
Book Synopsis The Historians of Ancient Rome by : Ronald Mellor
Download or read book The Historians of Ancient Rome written by Ronald Mellor and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From reviews of the first edition: "The Historians of Ancient Rome will certainly and deservedly satisfy many, more, in fact, than any of its competitors." -- Bryn Mawr Classical Review Covering more than a thousand years of Roman history, The Historians of Ancient Rome is the most comprehensive single volume of ancient sources available in English for the study of Rome. Ronald Mellor has selected extensive passages as well as complete texts by ten Greek and Roman historians, from Livy's account of the city's foundation by Romulus to the great defeat at Adrianople of Ammianus Marcellinus. Major longer works are judiciously abridged or excerpted; Sallust's "The Catilinarian Conspiracy," Suetonius's Life of Julius Caesar, and Augustus's"Res Gestae" are presented in their entirety. This second edition has been expanded to include greater coverage of the late Republic and Roman Empire.
Book Synopsis The Late Roman World and Its Historian by : Jan Willem Drijvers
Download or read book The Late Roman World and Its Historian written by Jan Willem Drijvers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ammianus Marcellinus, Greek by birth but writing in Latin c. AD 390, was the last great Roman historian. His writings are an indispensable basis for our knowledge of the late Roman world. This book represents a collection of papers analysing Ammianus's writings from a variety of perspective, including Ammianus as historian of, and participant in, Julian's Persian campaign, his identification with traditional religious attitudes and values in Rome and his view of the Persian Magi. The contributors engage especially with the concept of self-identification. They address the tension of Ammianus' dual role as both 'outside' external narrator and at the same time and 'insider' to the contemporary experiences and events which make up his surviving history.
Book Synopsis The Historians of Ancient Rome by : Ronald Mellor
Download or read book The Historians of Ancient Rome written by Ronald Mellor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historians of Ancient Rome is the most comprehensive collection of ancient sources for Roman history available in a single English volume. After a general introduction on Roman historical writing, extensive passages from more than a dozen Greek and Roman historians and biographers trace the history of Rome over more than a thousand years: from the city’s foundation by Romulus in 753 B.C.E. (Livy) to Constantine’s edict of toleration for Christianity (313 C.E.) Selections include many of the high points of Rome’s climb to world domination: the defeat of Hannibal; the conquest of Greece and the eastern Mediterranean; the defeat of the Catilinarian conspirators; Caesar’s conquest of Gaul; Antony and Cleopatra; the establishment of the Empire by Caesar Augustus; and the "Roman Peace" under Hadrian and long excepts from Tacitus record the horrors of the reigns of Tiberius and Nero. The book is intended both for undergraduate courses in Roman history and for the general reader interested in approaching the Romans through the original historical sources. Hence, excerpts of Polybius, Livy, and Tacitus are extensive enough to be read with pleasure as an exciting narrative. Now in its third edition, changes to this thoroughly revised volume include a new timeline, translations of several key inscriptions such as the Twelve Tables, and additional readings. This is a book which no student of Roman history should be without.

Book Synopsis The Greek and Roman Historians by : Tim Duff
Download or read book The Greek and Roman Historians written by Tim Duff and published by Bristol Classical Press. This book was released on 2003-06-27 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume traces the development of conceptions of history and its practice from Homer to the writers of the Roman Empire. It serves as an introduction to the great historians of the ancient world and contains sections on Herodotos, Thucydides, Xenophon, Polybios, Sallust, Livy, Velleius, Tacitus, Suetonius, Plutarch, Arrian, and Dio, as well as on some other historians whose work now survives only in fragments. Brief analyses of the events which form the background to each historian's work set the writers in their historical context. Each section is self-contained and may be read on its own; but specific attention is paid to links between the different historians, and the ways in which they were influenced by or competed with one another."--BOOK JACKET.
