This book contains new critical editions of two early and important
examples of the most popular Late Roman historical genres and the
first ever English translation of Hydatius. The first, the
Chronicle of Hydatius, is an account of the beginning of the
collapse of the Roman Empire and the end of the world under the
twin pressures of barbarian invasion and heresy between AD 378 and
468/9, written by a Spanish bishop who lived in the first
independent barbarian state established within the Empire. The
second, the Consularia Constantinopolitana, is a complex document
of differing dates and hands which was continued down to AD 468
with the addition of many detailed historical entries. They provide
an indispensable contemporary account of the fourth century AD.
These editions, based on the first ever examination of all
surviving manuscripts, are provided with detailed introductions and
appendices.
