Full Description

Herodian of Antioch's History of the Roman Empire: From the Death of Marcus Aurelius to the Accession of Gordian III explores one of Rome's most tumultuous periods, blending historical narrative with moral reflection. Herodian, a Syrian historian writing in Greek, offers a detailed yet personal account of the Roman Empire's transformation between 180 and 238 CE, a time marked by Syrian dynastic influence, political corruption, and shifting imperial power. His work reflects both his insider perspective as an imperial civil servant and his limitations as an amateur historian. Although criticized for his stylistic repetitiveness and superficial analysis, Herodian's narrative provides valuable insights into the complexities of Roman governance, society, and its declining fortunes. His biographical style, while flawed, captures the human dimensions of an era dominated by larger-than-life emperors and intense political strife.

This translation, based on the Greek text edited by K. Stavenhagen and supplemented by earlier Latin and European versions, aims to make Herodian's work accessible to a modern audience while preserving its historical essence. The history is both a product of its age and a reflection of the author's unique perspective, steeped in Greek historiographical traditions yet influenced by his Romanized worldview. Herodian's vivid accounts of imperial intrigue, moralizing commentary, and detailed observations of events offer a rare glimpse into the fabric of late Roman imperial life. Despite its limitations, his work remains an essential resource for understanding a critical period of Roman history and the enduring interplay between power, culture, and identity in the ancient world.
