　　Ammianus Marcellinus was the last great Roman historian, andhis writings rank alongside those of Livy and Tacitus. The LaterRoman Empire chronicles a period of twenty-five years duringMarcellinus' own lifetime, covering the reigns of Constantius,Julian, Jovian, Valentinian I, and Valens, and providing eyewitnessaccounts of significant military events including the Battle ofStrasbourg and the Goth's Revolt. Portraying a time of rapid anddramatic change, Marcellinus describes an Empire exhausted byexcessive taxation, corruption, the financial ruin of the middleclasses and the progressive decline in the morale of the army. Inthis magisterial depiction of the closing decades of the RomanEmpire, we can see the seeds of events that were to lead to thefall of the city, just twenty years after Marcellinus' death.
