Scripta Antiqua 182Sources et modèles des historiens anciens, 3 Olivier Devillers & Breno Battistin Sebastiani (dir.)This book is the outcome of broad international cooperation. It brings together twenty-two expert contributions on the writing of history in Greco-Roman Antiquity ranging from Herodotus to the Byzantine Empire. The papers are reinterpretations of each ancient historian’s purpose in writing. If there is a single idea that runs through all the texts collected here—the diversity of approaches was intended from the outset to be one of the hallmarks of the volume—it is that each testimony should be addressed by re-situating it in the context in which it was produced, since these testimonies shed as much light on the times they were written in as on the times they were written about.Sommaire M.
