Book Overview
Quae Supersunt offers a comprehensive look into the extant writings of Velleius Paterculus, a Roman historian known for his concise compendium of Roman history. This edition, carefully curated and edited by Johann Gottlieb Kreyssig, presents the surviving portions of Paterculus's work, providing invaluable insights into the political and social landscape of the Roman Empire during the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius.
Paterculus's historical survey, though brief, offers a unique perspective from a contemporary observer. Readers will find in "Quae Supersunt" not only a historical account but also a reflection of the values and concerns of the Roman elite. This edition serves as an essential resource for students and scholars of Roman history and Latin literature, offering a window into the minds of those who shaped one of history's greatest empires.
