Paperback. Zustand: Gut. Second Edition. X, 617 p. leicht berieben, Bleistiftanmerkung auf Schmutztitel, sonst sehr gut und sauber / slightly rubbed, pencil annotation on half title, otherwise very good and clean. - Covering more than a thousand years of Roman history, The Historians of Ancient Rome is the most comprehensive single volume of ancient sources available in English for the study of Rome. Ronald Mellor has selected extensive passages as well as complete texts by ten Greek and Roman historians, from Livy's account of the city's foundation by Romulus to the great defeat at Adrianople of Ammianus Marcellinus. Major longer works are judiciously abridged or excerpted; Sallust's "The Catilinarian Conspiracy," Suetonius's Lives of Julius Caesar, and Augustus's "Res Gestae" are presented in their entirety. This second edition has been expanded to include greater coverage of the late Republic and Roman Empire. / CONTENTS Preface to the Second Edition Introduction POLYBIUS HISTORIES APPIAN THE CIVIL WARS I SALLUST THE CATILINARIAN CONSPIRACY1-61 CICERO FIRST ORATION AGAINST CATILINE LETTERS TO ATTICUS I 2 TO POMPEY IN LETTERS TO FRIENDS V I TO ATTICUS VIII 8; XIV 12 TO MARCUS BRUTUS AT DYRRACHIUM I 3 TO ATTICUS XVI 8 TO DECIMUS BRUTUS IN LETTERS TO FRIENDS II, 20 C.
