About this book
The surviving books of a Latin history by Ammianus Marcellinus, a soldier from Antioch who served on the staff of the general Ursicinus and took part in Julian's campaign against the Persians. He wrote in Rome. The work once had thirty-one books beginning in A.D. 96, but the first thirteen are lost, so what remains covers the reigns of Constantius, Julian, Jovian, Valentinian and Valens, up to the death of Valens in 378. C. D. Yonge's English translation, printed in London in 1911, has a general index. Gibbon relied on Ammianus as a guide.
