About the Book

The series consists of a variety of monographs from the fields of Classical Philology and Ancient History. While maintaining a broad thematic and methodological scope, the editors are especially keen on studies showing a thorough and critical engagement with the relevant literary texts and primary sources.

Book Synopsis

The book contains a new critical edition of the incomplete late antique epitome of Valerius Maximus by Ianuarius Nepotianus as well as a first edition of the fragments of books III-IX of Valerius Maximus still preserved in Landulfus Sagax. In the exegetical commentary, the text-critical decisions are justified and the late antique Latinity of the text is analysed. In addition to the exempla collection of Valerius Maximus, republican and imperial authors such as Cicero, Livy and Quintilian are used.
