Ronald Mellor is Professor of History at UCLA. He is the author of Tacitus (1993) and The Historians of Ancient Rome: An Anthology (1997).
"Mellor has a comprehensive view of Roman historiography and has
included nearly all of the Roman historians... and all the major
genres that treat the Roman past. He is, moreover, consistently
sympathetic to his subject and tries to treat the Roman historians
on their own terms. --John Marincola, "Phoenix."
"Mellor's qualifications are impeccable and very few scholars could
have produced such an accessible and informative introduction to
Roman historiography."
-Religious Studies Review
"excelent textbook, attractively written."
-"AJP
"Sometime in my scholarly career, I hope to write a book as helpful
as Professor Mellor's study of the Roman historians Sallust, Livy,
Tacitus, Suetonius, and Ammianus Marcellinus.."
