* Cicero
* Lucian
* Aulus Gellius.
Literary Texts and the Roman Historian provides an accessible and concise introduction to the complexities of Roman historiography.
'This is a very lucid and accessible guide to the complicated field of historiography, from which teachers and students alike will benefit.' - JACT Review
'An extremely learned, and very personal, excursion through the byways of ancient ... historiography ...This is a book that is more difficult, and more important, than it appears at first glance, but its rewards are certainly worth the effort.' - Pheonix
