Book Synopsis Chronicles, Consuls, and Coins by : Richard W. Burgess
Book excerpt: The sources for reconstructing late Roman (or early Byzantine) history of the third to fifth centuries AD, are the central focus of the papers collected in this volume. The first section, 'Historiography', concentrates on the elucidation of a group of chronicles and breviaria whose texts are fundamental for our understanding of the history of the third and fourth centuries. The second section, 'History', presents a group of historical studies, ranging in time from the death of Constantine in 337 to the vicennalia of Anastasius in 511.
