In Praise of Later Roman Emperors The Panegyrici Latini

"The Gallic panegyrics are as evocative of fourth-century Roman culture as the letters of Symmachus or the sermons of Ambrose. Having these documents available in English translation with a detailed historical commentary will be a boon to teacher and scholar alike."--Robert A. Kaster, Professor of Classics, The University of Chicago "Rogers and Nixon expose rich seams of material. Their balanced and well-informed text and commentaries will be of enormous help in introducing students to the significance and fascination of late-third and fourth-century history."--John F. Drinkwater, University of Nottingham, England "This is a real step forward in the study of late antique texts. The authors show just how much one can get out of texts that are still so easily dismissed."--Sabine MacCormack, author ofArt and Ceremony in Late AntiquityNixon, C.
