1696 Aurelius Victor Roman History Mythology Julius Augustus Caesar COINS ROME
Aurelius Victor, also known as Sextus Victor, was a 4th-century Roman historian. Only four of his works remain and the collection is typically published under one title –'Historia Romana'. This work comprises accounts of the origins of the Roman people, establishment of Rome, mythological figures and influence, reigns of Roman emperors from Augustus to Theodosius, even some Egyptian history under the reign of Cleopatra.
This 1696 Utrecht edition was collected and edited by Samuel Pitiscus and is particularly desirable because of the plethora of illustrate coins and medallions throughout.
