Inhaltsangabe

"The Roman people during the seven hundred years, from the time of King Romulus down to that of Caesar Augustus, achieved so much in peace and war that, if a man were to compare the greatness of their empire with its years, he would consider its size as out of all proportion to its age." - Florus

The Epitome is an abridgement of Roman History with special reference to the wars waged by the Roman people from the foundation of the city down to the age of Augustus. It once enjoyed - perhaps owing to its rhetorical character - a considerable popularity and was widely used as a school-book as late as the end of the seventeenth century. Nowadays, while not considered a primary source for detailed historical analysis, Florus' "Epitome" offers valuable insights into how Romans of the 2nd century AD perceived their own history.

This new edition comes with an Easy-to-Read Layout designed to make reading comfortable. Endnotes are included at the end of each chapter.
