The Bibliotheca Teubneriana, established in 1849, has evolved into
the world's most venerable and extensive series of editions of
Greek and Latin literature, ranging from classical to Neo-Latin
texts. Some 4-5 new editions are published every year. A team of
renowned scholars in the field of Classical Philology acts as
advisory board: Gian Biagio Conte (Scuola Normale Superiore di
Pisa) Marcus Deufert (Universitat Leipzig) James Diggle (University
of Cambridge) Donald J. Mastronarde (University of California,
Berkeley) Franco Montanari (Universita di Genova) Heinz-Gunther
Nesselrath (Georg-August-Universitat Goettingen) Dirk Obbink
(University of Oxford) Oliver Primavesi (Ludwig-Maximilians
Universitat Munchen) Michael D. Reeve (University of Cambridge)
Richard J. Tarrant (Harvard University) Formerly out-of-print
editions are offered as print-on-demand reprints. Furthermore, all
new books in the Bibliotheca Teubneriana series are published as
eBooks. The older volumes of the series are being successively
digitized and made available as eBooks. If you are interested in
ordering an out-of-print edition, which hasn't been yet made

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This volume deals with the most controversial part of Velleius'
work, regarded by the majority of modern scholars as a panegyrical
biography of Tiberius and used as an excuse for dismissing the
historical value of Velleius' whole work. In the introduction Dr
Woodman considers the nature of the Tiberian narrative in the light
of the literary tradition, and argues that it is no more
panegyrical than some of the most admired products of Roman
historiography such as Livy and Ammianus. He also considers the
transmission of Velleius' text since its discovery in 1515, and
argues that, contrary to the opinion of most nineteenth and
twentieth-century editors, Rhenanus' editio princeps of 1520 is a
more reliable authority than Amerbach's apograph of 1516. Dr
Woodman provides a full apparatus criticus, and an extensive
commentary which is intended for use by students and specialists in
Roman literature, historiography, and history.
Velleius Paterculus, who lived in the reigns of Augustus and
Tiberius (30 BCE-37 CE), served as a military tribune in Thrace,
Macedonia, Greece and Asia Minor, and later, from 4 CE to 12 or 13,
as a cavalry officer and "legatus" in Germany and Pannonia. He was
quaestor in 7 CE, praetor in 15. He wrote in two books 'Roman
Histories', a summary of Roman history from the fall of Troy to 29
CE. As he approached his own times he becomes much fuller in his
treatment, especially between the death of Caesar in 44 BCE and
that of Augustus in 14 CE. His work has useful concise essays on
Roman colonies and provinces and some effective compressed
portrayals of characters.
"Res Gestae Divi Augusti," In his 76th year (13 CE-14) the
emperor Augustus wrote a dignified account of his public life and
work of which the best preserved copy (with a Greek translation)
was engraved by the Galatians on the walls of the temple of
Augustus at Ancyra (Ankara). It is a unique document giving short
details of his public offices and honours; his benefactions to the
empire, to the people, and to the soldiers; and his services as a
soldier and as an administrator.
