Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book meticulously examines the history of Ammianus Marcellinus — a Roman historian who penned a seminal account of the Roman Empire during the 4th century. The author explores Marcellinus's life, his literary influences, and the historical context in which he wrote his masterpiece, the Res Gestae. The author analyzes the literary devices Marcellinus employed, including his use of speeches, digressions, and vivid descriptions. Marcellinus’s work is situated within the broader context of Greek and Latin historiography, highlighting his unique contributions to the genre. The book delves into the significant themes that permeate Marcellinus's writings, such as the role of fate, the nature of political power, and the rise and fall of empires. Through these themes, the author provides a nuanced exploration of the complex world of late antiquity. By illuminating the literary and historical significance of Marcellinus's work, this book offers readers a deeper understanding of one of the most important historical accounts of the Roman Empire. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of ancient history, as well as anyone interested in the intricacies of historiography and the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
