1632 1^ed Historiae Augustae Ancient ROME Emperors Commodus Maximus 5v SET Vellum

“Historiae Augustae” is a rare, 17^th-century collection of ancient Roman histories of Roman Emperors by many of the ‘minor’ classical historians. Many of these histories were written during the reigns of Constantine the Great but cover the reigns of rulers such as Hadrian, Caracalla, Geta, Antonius, Albinus, Maximus and Balbinus, Cassius, Commodus, Heliogabalus, Severus Alexander, and many others. While the biographies are the appeal of this work, the authors themselves shouldn’t be overlooked.

The 30-sum biographies were written by Aelius Spartianus, Julius Capitolinus, Vulcacius Gallicanus, Aelius Lampridius, Trebellius Pollio, and Flavius Vopiscus Syracusanus. This particular 1632 edition of “Historiae Augustae” was edited by Vossius and Boxhorn and published in five, charming tomes.
