<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 3392898, member: 87200&quot;]What&#039;s some of your favorite works of Roman-era historians? My personal favorite is Ammianus Marcellinus&#039; work focusing on the years 353-378 A.D. This book, the <i>Res Gestae</i>, started with the reign of Nerva but all portions prior to 353 are lost to history. The description of Julian&#039;s rise to power and campaign against the Persians is quite riveting. Fortunately it is available for free online:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/index.htm#Ammianus_Marcellinus" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/index.htm#Ammianus_Marcellinus" rel="nofollow">http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/index.htm#Ammianus_Marcellinus</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Please share your favorite historians and why you like them![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
