Description

Ammianus Marcellinus stands as the last great Roman historian, writing in Latin around AD 390 despite being Greek by birth. His historical accounts remain essential sources for understanding the late Roman world and empire. This Routledge Classical Monographs volume brings together scholarly papers that examine Ammianus's writings from multiple perspectives, including his role as both historian and participant in Julian's Persian campaign. Contributors explore his identification with traditional Roman religious attitudes and values, his portrayal of the Persian Magi, and the conceptual framework of self-identification throughout his work. The collection addresses the fundamental tensions and complexities within Ammianus's historical narrative, offering readers deeper insight into how this pivotal ancient historian documented and interpreted one of Rome's most transformative periods.
