Description

Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Light shelfwear to DJ. ; 624 pages; The surviving books of Ammianus Marcellinus, covering in detail twenty-five years of the author’s adult lifetime (353-378), place him in the first rank of Classical historians. With their intense style and lively visual sense, their power and marvellous ability to portray character in action (as well as their occasional idiosyncrasy), the Res Gestae are essential reading for anyone concerned with the history of the later Roman Empire and with the survival of the Classical literary tradition in an age of cultural and religious innovation
