Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book reveals the linguistic characteristics of the Historia Augusta, a collection of biographies of Roman emperors from the mid-3rd century AD. While not always historically reliable or accurate, these biographies provide unique insights into the political and social landscape of the period. The author offers a thorough linguistic analysis of the text, paying particular attention to syntax, grammar, and usage, and situating these observations within a broader historical and literary context. The book explores the extent to which the authors of the Historia Augusta, writing in the 4th century AD, adhered to classical Latin norms and to what extent they were influenced by the language and style of their own time, opening up new avenues for interpreting and understanding this important late antique work.
