Description
This essential document for the study of Roman history traces the story of Rome from Romulus and the foundations of Rome to the reign of the Emperor Tiberius. It is especially valuable to historians and students for its vivid eyewitness account of the dramatic years that saw the Roman Empire emerge from the chaos left by the shattered Republic.
Reviews
No study of the Augustan or Tiberian age can (or should) now begin without taking account of what Velleius tells us. --David Potter, University of Michigan
