Description
A chronicle of Rome in crisis, spanning half a century of turmoil from AD 180 to 238. Herodian's work provides one of the few surviving accounts of this pivotal era, offering insights into the tumultuous social and political landscape of the Roman empire. The author's own background is shrouded in mystery, but his History is an invaluable document for understanding the nature of the empire during a time of rapid change. Written in Greek, it reflects the rhetorical excesses and stereotypes of its age, yet remains a crucial source for anyone seeking to comprehend the complexities of this period. This two-volume edition from Harvard University Press makes Herodian's work available once more, providing a unique window into the Roman empire's final centuries.
