De Gruyter Seneca the Elder and His Rediscovered ›Historiae ab initio bellorum civilium‹: New Perspectives on Early-Imperial Roman Historiography

Review Undoubtedly, this volume will remain a milestone in the scholarship on Seneca the Elder's Historiae and it is recommended to anyone with an interest in early-imperial Roman historiography more generally. Martina Russo in: BMCR 2021.01.23 Product Description This is the first volume dedicated exclusively to the historiographical work by Seneca the Elder, after the recent discovery of a fragmentary roll from Herculaneum bearing traces of his Historiae. Contributions not only focus on the discovery of the papyrus roll, but also offer a broader view on early-imperial Roman historiography, to which the new perspectives opened by the rediscovery of Seneca the Elders Historiae greatly contribute.
