Inhaltsangabe

Sir Ronald Syme has been a major figure in classical studies for almost half a century. These final two volumes of Roman Papers contain 42 of Syme's most recent papers. Many of the papers deal with the younger Pliny and with Tacitus, and there are insightful discussions of ancient authors such
as Strabo, the elder Pliny, Statius, Quintilian, and Arrian. In addition, Syme sheds much new light on the "Hispano-Narbonensian nexus" that emerged under the Flavians and later formed the Antonine dynasty, the emperor Hadrian and his Antonine successors, and the usurper Avidius Cassius.
