Book synopsis

Did Rome’s historians – such as Caesar, Sallust, Titus Livius, Tacitus, Suetonius, and Ammianus Marcellinus – actually forge, shape and reshape the history of Rome ? As actors, witnesses or scholars, and whether cultivating an anecdotal or laconic writing style, they were all highly skilled manipulators and peerless ideologists.This clear and concise guide successively introduces the greatest historians of ancient Rome, from the end of the Roman Republic to Late Antiquity, who were given special emphasis here for the first time in light of the most recent research findings, particularly those concerning the mysterious Augustan History [Historia Augusta]. Each chapter features translated and annotated excerpts of the works discussed.
