Description

Explore how the ancient Romans viewed their own legacy through the eyes of their most famous writers. The Roman Historians by Ronald Mellor provides a deep look into how historical writing shaped Roman culture. This book examines the major figures who defined the era, including Sallust, Livy, Tacitus, and Ammianus. Beyond standard historical accounts, this work covers essential biographies from Nepos, Suetonius, and the Augustan History. It also includes the personal autobiographies of Julius Caesar and the Emperor Augustus. By studying these texts, readers gain a better understanding of how Romans interpreted their past. Ronald Mellor explains that Roman historical writing was viewed as a literary exercise rather than a modern scholarly one. This distinction is vital for anyone looking to evaluate these ancient texts accurately. Whether you are a student of history or a reader interested in classical biography, this Routledge publication offers a detailed perspective on the authors who recorded the rise and character of Rome.
