The Caesarian and Augustan Narrative (2.41-93). Edited with a Commentary by A.J. Woodman. - VELLEIUS PATERCULUS,
The Caesarian and Augustan Narrative (2.41-93) (Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries)
KORTE INHOUD
'The editor has put students as much in his debt with this volume as he did with his first, his author even more. No longer is Velleius eyewitness or partisan, rather the cautious and jejune narrator of a period still dangerous to the historian, a valuable authority for those familiar with the period (...). Whatever can be said for the art and thought of Velleius is said by this intellignet and honourable advocate. Exposition of the structure of the work is perhaps the most striking feature of this volume and occasionally of vital importance (...). The personal style of the present volume is equally consistent. (...) From now on, whenever Velleius has to be consulted for the events of the Caesarian and Augustan eras, for his style or his technique as an historian, it will be with this commentary.' (B.M. LEVICK in The Classical Review (New Series), 1986, pp.53-56).
