He wrote, in a brief and pointed rhetorical style, a summary of Roman history (especially wars) in two books to demonstrate the greatness and decline of Roman morals. It is based chiefly on Livy. The work was perhaps intended to reach his own times, but the extant work ends with Augustus's reign (30 BCE–14 CE).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEpitome of Roman History\u003c\/em\u003e is a useful rapid sketch of Roman military history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePoetry by Florus is also available in the Loeb Classical Library, in \u003cem\u003eMinor Latin Poets, Volume II\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48145134158060,"sku":"9780674992542","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780674992542-epitome-of-roman-history.jpg?v=1786396170","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/epitome-of-roman-history-by-florus-9780674992542","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
