Description

Explore the complex history of the late Roman Empire through the eyes of its last great historian. This Routledge Classical Monograph provides a deep look into the writings of Ammianus Marcellinus, a Greek-born author who wrote in Latin around AD 390. His work serves as an essential foundation for understanding the final stages of the Roman world. This collection of academic papers offers diverse perspectives on Ammianus's life and work. Readers can examine his role as both a historian and a participant in Julian's Persian campaign. The volume also explores his connection to traditional Roman religious values and his specific views on the Persian Magi. By focusing on the concept of self-identification, the contributors examine the tensions present in his writing and his unique place in history. This book is an important resource for students and scholars of ancient history and Roman civilization.
