The work features writings from two notable Roman historians, C. Crispus Sallustius and L. Annaeus Florus. Sallustius covers the Catiline and Jugurthine Wars, providing insight into significant Roman conflicts. Florus offers a condensed history of Rome from its founding to the reign of Augustus, drawing from Livy’s extensive accounts. Published in 1774, this reprint serves as a valuable resource for understanding Roman history and studying Latin, while also preserving important cultural literature.
Florus (second century CE) wrote, in brief pointed rhetorical style, a two- book summary of Roman history (especially military) in order to show the greatness and decline of Roman morals. Based chiefly on Livy and perhaps planned to reach Florus own times, the extant work ends with Augustus s reign (30 BCE 14 CE).
