Forthcoming Loebs (February 2025)

VELLEIUS PATERCULUS
Edited and Translated by A. J. Woodman
Epitome of Pompeius Trogus I 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
Fragmentary Speeches 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
Epitome of Pompeius Trogus I 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.

Orations. Other Fragments
Edited and Translated by Gesine Manuwald

Edited and Translated by Paul Potter
Hippocrates, Volume I Volume I of the Loeb Hippocrates presents an exemplary selection of works by or attributed to the “Father of Medicine” that illustrate his fundamental contributions to the theory, philosophy, and practice of medicine.

HISTORIA AUGUSTA
Volumes I–III
Translated by David Magie
Revised by David Rohrbacher
Historia Augusta, Volume I 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.
PLATO
Lysis. Symposium. Phaedrus
Edited and Translated by Chris Emlyn-Jones and William Preddy
Plato, Lysis. Symposium. Phaedrus Works in this volume explore the relationship between two people known as love (erōs) or friendship (philia).
