Velleius Paterculus, who lived in the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius (30 BCE–37 CE), served as a military tribune in Thrace, Macedonia, Greece and Asia Minor, and later, from 4 CE to 12 or 13, as a cavalry officer and legatus in Germany and Pannonia. He was quaestor in 7 CE, praetor in 15. He wrote in two books ’Roman Histories’, a summary of Roman history from the fall of Troy to 29 CE. As he approached his own times he becomes much fuller in his treatment, especially between the death of Caesar in 44 BCE and that of Augustus in 14 CE. His work has useful concise essays on Roman colonies and provinces and some effective compressed portrayals of characters.
Res Gestae Divi Augusti. In his 76th year (13 CE–14) the emperor Augustus wrote a dignified account of his public life and work of which the best preserved copy (with a Greek translation) was engraved by the Galatians on the walls of the temple of Augustus at Ancyra (Ankara). It is a unique document giving short details of his public offices and honours; his benefactions to the empire, to the people, and to the soldiers; and his services as a soldier and as an administrator.

He was quaestor in 7 CE, praetor in 15. He wrote in two books 'Roman Histories', a summary of Roman history from the fall of Troy to 29 CE.

基本材料。前后风格差别好大,越到当代flatter的味道就越重。有趣的是Paterculus猛舔Cicero,Pompey和Brutus,或许是出于踩Anthonius的需要,不过这也就是说Paterculus并没有按照Caesarian和Pompeian的划分来选择赞美还是抨击的对象,而是集中炮火猛攻Anthonius,因此只要是和Anthonius作对的他都夸????但是从书中猛舔Sejanus来看,他是要在这个事情上栽跟头的…数字意识很有意思,特别是不断地回溯时间,不断强调事件发生距今有多少年,这和一般的顺时而下的编年史很不一样,可以说对现在的意识超过了对过去的意识。Introduction的评价很有意思:Paterculus比起作为一名Historian,更像一个Journalist????
