Ammianus is regarded as the greatest historian of late antiquity.
Yet his geographic and ethnographic digressions were long
underestimated as examples offeigned eruditionand as undue
interruptions to the historical narrative. The author of this
volume believes that the key to understanding Ammianus s work as a
whole lies in his teaching of classical rhetoric, his metaphoric
reading of landscapes, and the creation of spaces for memory and
counterworlds to the Imperium Romanum. In this way, historical
understanding and digressions concerning geographic knowledge must
be viewed as interdependent features of the text. The author thus
casts a new light on Ammianus s literary achievements."
