This work provides, for the first time, a chronological reference
for the entire Roman state and its neighbours. Events of each year
are covered in detail listing the elected consuls, major battles as
well as political and social events. Opening with a discussion on
the ancient sources and the myth of the foundation of Rome, it
proceeds to the end of the empire in 476. Some explanation is given
when sources may conflict on the precise timing of such events, but
interpretation and conjecture are kept to a minimum. All material
is derived from original sources and has been painstakingly
researched by the editor. The introduction considers key
historiographical questions and concerns of the period. Professor
John Drinkwater considers the importance of questioning sources,
most notably Livy, and what can be said with any authority. He
places the period in its historical, political and cultural context
and challenges some of the scholarship to date. It will become the
standard reference work and an indispensable tool for anyone
studying the period.
