Scriptores Historiae Augustae [Latin]

By Hermann Péter

Scriptores Historiae Augustae is a collection of biographies of Roman emperors, their co-rulers, and usurpers during the period from 117 to 284 AD. Written in Latin, this compilation provides valuable, though sometimes unreliable, insights into the lives and reigns of figures such as Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, and Commodus. Attributed to a group of authors, the collection offers perspectives on the political, social, and military events of the Roman Empire during a turbulent era. While the authorship and accuracy of the Scriptores Historiae Augustae have been debated by scholars, its historical value remains significant. The work provides details on imperial life, court intrigues, and military campaigns. It is an essential resource for anyone studying Roman history, Latin literature, or the evolution of biographical writing.
