Most of his writings, which included poems, moral examples from history, a chronological sketch of general history, a geographical work, Lives of Cato the Elder and Cicero, and other biographies, are lost. Extant is a portion of his 'De Viris Illustribus': (i) part of his parallel lives of Roman and non-Roman famous men, namely the portion containing lives of non-Roman generals (all Greeks except three) and a chapter on kings; and (ii) two lives from the class of historians. The lives are short popular biographies of various kinds, written in a usually plain readable style, of value today because of Nepos's use of many good sources.","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47932135866604,"sku":"9780674995147","price":92.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/cornelius-nepos.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
