What Our Customers Say...

Description

Leather Binding

In the original Latin. 

Excellentium Imperatorum Vitae Cum Fragmentis Variis Lectionibus et Indice Locupletissimo explores the lives of excellent emperors with fragments of various lessons and with a copious index. 

Cornelii Nepotis was a Roman biographer. 

His only surviving work is the Excellentium Imperatorum Vitae, which appeared in the reign of Theodosius I, as the work of the grammarian Aemilius Probus, who presented it to the emperor with a dedication in Latin verse. He claims it to have been the work of his mother or father (the manuscripts vary) and his grandfather.
