Epitome de Caesaribus


The Epitome de Caesaribus is a Latin historical work written at the end of the 4th century.
It is a brief account of the reigns of the Roman emperors from Augustus to Theodosius the Great. It is attributed to Aurelius Victor, but was written by an anonymous author who was very likely a pagan. The author used the so-called Enmannsche Kaisergeschichte and the Annales of Virius Nicomachus Flavianus. Although very brief in length and not always reliable, it also contains some useful information.
