Attention will be paid to the motives, contexts, and styles of individual authors. Writing in diverse periods, sometimes separated by hundreds of years, each of these historians presents the history of Rome as increasingly marred by degeneration and decline. Rome’s glorious past (whenever it is) is almost always better than the failures of a more recent age. To lend thematic cohesion to an otherwise vast body of material, particular emphasis will thus be placed on the themes of moral and political corruption in the historians studied. Such a focus will enable us to track one of the major ways in which these writers engaged with the works of their predecessors in order to fashion a unified tradition of moralizing history.
