1657 Lucius Florus History of Ancient Rome + Ampelius Liber Memorialis Salmasius
“Men of outstanding ability are more likely to lack the power of controlling their own people than of defeating an enemy in battle.”
― Livy, The History of Rome
Florus was a Roman historian who lived during the 2nd-century AD. His history of Rome was collected by Livy, and mainly focuses on the foundation of Rome though the end of the B.C. era. The work is considered inaccurate, especially compared to Livy’s much more popular and famous History of Rome.
This 1657 Elzevier edition of Florus was edited by the 17th-century French classist Claudius Salmasius. First appearing in 1638, this book not only includes Florus but also an edition of Lucius Ampelius’s ‘Liber Memorialis’. This work is an ancient index of 1st-century Roman history focusing on cosmography, mythology, and geography during the Republican period of Rome. Curiously, this is only the second known edition of Ampelius.
