This book was released on 2000 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scriptores Historiae Augustae, or Historia Augusta, is a collection of biographies of Roman emperors, heirs, and claimants from Hadrian to Numerianus (117- 284 CE). The work, which is modeled on Suetonius, purports to be written by six different authors and quotes documents and public records extensively. Since we possess no continuous account of the emperors of the second and third centuries, the Historia Augusta has naturally attracted keen attention. In the last century it has also generated the gravest suspicions. Present opinion holds that the whole is the work of a single author (who lived in the time of Theodosius) and contains much that is plagiarism and even downright forgery. The Loeb Classical Library edition of the Historia Augusta is in three volumes.

Book excerpt: "Despite a century of intensive scholarly interest, the nature and purpose of the Historia Augusta remain elusive. It is, however, an essential text for historians of the ancient world because it is the most detailed Latin source for the second and third centuries AD, and it often provides details beyond what we find in the Greek sources. In addition, it offers pleasure for the casual reader from its gossipy recounting of the passions, follies, and scandals of decadent emperors, and the noble and admirable deeds of the good ones. The work comes to us as a collection of thirty books which cover the lives of the Roman emperors from Hadrian (ruled 117-138) to Carinus (283-285). The lives roughly follow the model of the imperial biographer Suetonius. They offer not only a historical narrative of the important deeds of the subject's life, but also evidence of the emperor's character as revealed through habits or anecdotes. The author follows other imperial biographers like Plutarch in differentiating biography from history. Biography is traditionally more concerned with facts and accuracy, and less concerned with style and elegance."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important inscription, found in the Roman market place in Athens, is here published for the first time. Although fragmentary, it preserves the text of a formal letter from Marcus Aurelius directed to the Athenians in the year A.D. 174/5. The Roman emperor's decisions in cases concerning office holding, membership of the council, and the appointment of the Athenian members of the Panhellenion (the council of cities established by Hadrian) are recorded. Elicited by a complaint to the emperor from prominent citizens, the letter also sheds light on the brutal political quarrels that swirled around the Athenian administrator, Herodes Atticus, builder of some of Athens's best-known monuments.
