This work is valuable as history, containing as it does contemporary information on the period after 278 A.D. It was used widely during the Middle Ages, and the existence today of nearly 200 manuscript copies is evidence of its past popularity.Tags

An excellent translation, with phenomenal notes by A.T. Fear. A great edition of a little studied late Latin historian.
