Excerpt from The Scriptores Historiae Augustae, Vol. 2: With an English Translation
The conclusions of Dessau were carried further by Otto Seeck.1 He, too, held that the biographies are the work of a single writer, but attempted to set him at a date later than Dessau's Theodosian forger, contending that he lived at the beginning of the fifth century. In defence of his theory he enumerated many apparent allusions to the post-constantinian ad ministrative and military system and asserted the presence of many inconsistencies with the earlier period. He discovered also various covert thrusts at the Emperor Honorius2 and concluded that the work was written under Constantine III., a usurper who appeared in Gaul in 407 and maintained his rule for three years.
