Focusing on the period from 353 to 378, this historical account by a fourth-century Roman historian provides a detailed narrative of the Roman Empire's events and challenges during a pivotal time. Though only part of a larger work that spans from Nerva's accession to Valens' death at the Battle of Adrianople, it serves as a critical continuation of Tacitus' history. Ammianus Marcellinus offers insights into the complexities of Roman governance, military conflicts, and societal changes during the late Antiquity era.
