Information About

Aurelius Victor




Four small historical works have been ascribed to him on more or less doubtful grounds:
#''Origo Gentis Romanae''
#''De Viris Illustribus Romae''
#''De Caesaribus''
#''De Vita et Moribus Imperatorum Romanorum excerpta ex Libris Sex. Aur. Victoris''
The four have generally been published together under the name ''Historia Romana'', but the fourth piece is a ''rechauffe'' of the third. The second was first printed at Naples about 1472, in 410, under the name of Pliny (the Younger) , and the fourth at Strassburg in 1505.

The first edition of all four was that of A Schottus (8vo, Antwerp, 1579). The most recent edition of the ''De Caesaribus'' is by FR Pichlmayr (Munich, 1892).
