| VELLEIUS PATERCULUS |
| Edited and Translated by A. J. Woodman |
 |
The histories of Velleius Paterculus chronicle the story of Rome and Roman culture from the fall of Troy to AD 30, providing much valuable information especially about the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius (30 BC–AD 37), for which he provides our only extant historical depiction by a contemporary witness. This edition replaces that of F. W. Shipley, offering a new translation, ample annotation, and a freshly edited text. |

| CICERO |
| Fragmentary Speeches |
| Edited and Translated by Jane W. Crawford and Andrew R. Dyck |
 |
Cicero (Marcus Tullius, 106–43 BC), Roman advocate, orator, politician, poet, and philosopher, about whom we know more than we do of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era that saw the rise, dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. This edition, based upon Crawford’s of 1994, includes all speeches with attested fragments, together with testimonia. |
| JUSTIN |
| Epitome of Pompeius Trogus, Volumes I–II |
| Edited and Translated by J. C. Yardley, with Introduction and Notes by Dexter Hoyos |
 |
To Justin is attributed our abbreviated version of the lost Philippic History by Pompeius Trogus, a massive account of the non-Roman world and its civilizations. Justin’s anthology became one of the most widely read and influential books in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, indeed the main authority on world history other than Roman, surviving in more than 200 manuscripts. |

| Placita |
| Edited and Translated by Jaap Mansfeld and David T. Runia |
 |
Aëtius’ Placita (ca. AD 100) is a reconstructed compendium summarizing the principal doctrines and opinions of the Greek philosophers, which served as a multi-purpose manual both for study and for personal enlightenment and which remains a valuable source for our knowledge of Presocratic and Hellenistic philosophy. |

Maximus of Tyre’s forty-one Philosophical Orations offer a Platonic elucidation of the philosophical life of virtue, and a rich collection of the famous philosophical, literary, and historical figures, events, ideas, successes, and failures that constituted Greek paideia in the so-called Second Sophistic era. |

| Testimonia. Origines |
| Orations. Other Fragments |
| Edited and Translated by Gesine Manuwald |

M. Porcius Cato (234–149 BC) remains legendary for his political and military career, his integrity and austere morality, his literary works, his pithy sayings, and his drive to define and to champion the Roman national character. This edition supplies all testimonia about, and all fragments by or attributed to him. |

Philostratus “the Elder” or “the Athenian” (second to mid-third c.) and Eunapius (ca. 345–415) provide fascinating intellectual and professional biographies of notable sophists that reveal their predominant influence in the educational, social, religious, and political life of the Empire in their times. |

The prolific scholar-poet Callimachus of Cyrene spent his career at the royal court and great Library at Alexandria.

Livius Andronicus, Naevius, and Caecilius were highly influential pioneers in the creation and development of Latin poetry, especially tragedy, comedy, historical drama, and epic, not only in the adaptation of Greek models but also in the inclusion of Roman allusions, subjects, and themes. |

| HISTORIA AUGUSTA |
| Volumes I–III |
| Translated by David Magie |
| Revised by David Rohrbacher |
 |
The Historia Augusta is a biographical collection written by a single author under six pseudonyms that covers the lives of the Roman emperors from Hadrian (r. 117–138) to Carinus (283–285). While it is our most detailed surviving source for this period, it has more value as an enigmatic work of literary fiction than as history. |

Works in this volume explore the relationship between two people known as love (erōs) or friendship (philia). In Lysis, Socrates meets two young men at a wrestling school; in Symposium, he joins a company of accomplished men at a drinking party; and in Phaedrus, experimental speeches about love lead to a discussion of rhetoric. |
