Summary
This volume offers a major reinterpretation of Ammianus Marcellinus' 'Res Gestae', one of the main narrative sources for the political history of the later Roman Empire. Arguing for a re-examination of Ammianus' agenda and methods in depicting Julian, the last 'pagan' emperor, it re-analyses his narration of several key moments in Julian's reign.
