Ammianus Marcellinus, Greek by birth but writing in Latin c. AD
390, was the last great Roman historian. His writings are an
indispensable basis for our knowledge of the late Roman world. This
book represents a collection of papers analysing Ammianus's
writings from a variety of perspective, including Ammianus as
historian of, and participant in, Julian's Persian campaign, his
identification with traditional religious attitudes and values in
Rome and his view of the Persian Magi. The contributors engage
especially with the concept of self-identification. They address
the tension of Ammianus' dual role as both 'outside' external
narrator and at the same time and 'insider' to the contemporary
experiences and events which make up his surviving history.
