The Historians of Ancient Rome

Historians of Ancient Rome provides a comprehensive collection of ancient sources for Roman history in translation. It introduces Roman historical writing, then traces the history of Rome over more than 1000 years, using extensive passages from ten Greek and Roman historians - from Livy's account of the city's foundation by Romulus to the great defeat at Adrianople by Ammianus Marcellinus. Selections include classic texts by such figures as Caesar, Suetonius, and Tacitus. The book contains Sallust's "Catiline", Suetonius' "Life of Caligula", and Augustus' "Autobiography" in their entirety.
Now in its third edition, this is a book which no student of Roman history should be without.
