Description

Ammianus Marcellinus: Roman History, Volume I, Books 14-19 (Loeb Classical Library No. 300) This is a comprehensive history of the Roman Empire in the period from AD 353 to 378, written by Ammianus Marcellinus, a soldier who served under various emperors and governors. The work covers economic and social affairs as well as military campaigns, providing a unique insight into the decline of the empire. The surviving books of this 31-volume history offer a remarkably accurate and impartial record of Ammianus' own times. His broad-minded approach to non-Romans and Christianity is evident in the text, which also sheds light on the causes of the Roman Empire's fall. This edition is part of the Loeb Classical Library series, presented in three volumes.
