Description

This book contains new critical editions of two early and important examples of the most popular late Roman historical genres. The first, the "Chronicle" of Hydatius, is an account of the beginning of the collapse of the Roman Empire and the end of the world under the twin pressures of barbarian invasion and heresy between AD 378 and AD 468/9, written by a Spanish bishop who lived in the first independent barbarian state established within the Empire. The second, the "Consularia Constantinopolitana", is a complex document of differing dates and hands which originated as a list of consuls from 509 BC, and which was continued down to AD 468 with the addition of many detailed historical entries. They provide an indispensable contemporary account of the fourth century AD. These editions, based on the first ever examination of all surviving manuscripts, are provided with introductions and appendices, and include the first English translation of Hydatius.
