Rome’s Best Man
This article scrutinizes the Senate’s choice of the young P. Cornelius Scipio Nasica as vir optimus (“best man”) in Rome in 204 BCE, and the ancient historiographic tradition regarding his qualifications. While a certain explanation about Nasica’s credentials is not possible, later authors attributed a range of moral qualities to him, especially pietas, manifested as youthful patriotic duty. I read this historiographic tradition as an exercise by…
Anaximander the Younger
Anaximander the Younger was an ancient Greek antiquarian writer from Miletos in Asia Minor. Surviving testimony about his career dates him to the late‐fifth to early‐fourth centuries bce . He wrote in an archaic Ionic style, was interested in the writings of Pythagoras and Homer, and also wrote mythological works.
Anaximenes of Lampsakos
Anaximenes of Lampsakos was a fourth‐century bce historian, rhetorician, and intellectual. He was the author of several works, including the Rhetorica ad Alexandrum , histories of both Philip II of Macedon and Alexander III, the Great, and a universal history of Greece. He may have been an instructor of Alexander, and he accompanied him on his invasion of the East.
Andron
Andron was an ancient Greek historian of unknown origin who likewise wrote at an unknown date. A single fragment of his work, The sacrifices to Philippos , is preserved in Apollonios Paradoxographos’ Historiae mirabiles , written in the second century ce .
Andriskos (historian)
Andriskos of Naxos was a fourth‐ or early third‐century bce Greek historian, who wrote a local history of his home island, the Naxiaka . Three fragments survive in the later works of Parthenios of Nicaea and Athenaeus of Naukratis. Little about his life and career can be described due to the extremely fragmentary nature of the historical record.
Androitas of Tenedos
Androitas of Tenedos was an ancient historian of the Sea of Marmara region about whom next to nothing is known besides the fact that he wrote a local history entitled Circumnavigation of the Propontis . A sole fragment of his survives in a scholion to Apollonius Rhodius’ Argonautika describing the geographical location of one of the Argonauts’ adventures.
Anaxis of Boiotia
Anaxis was a Greek historian from Boiotia who lived at an unknown date. His work is known from a single fragment of Diodorus of Sicily, which mentions only that he wrote a history of the Greeks which closed with the events of the year 361/0 bce .
Androkles
Androkles was the author of a work called On Cyprus , which survives in only a single fragment in the Etymologicum Magnum . An “Androkles” is also mentioned in two Cyprian inscriptions and in two works by the historian Arrian as the fourth‐century bce king of Amathus in southern Cyprus, and some modern scholars have proposed identifying the author and ancient king as the same man.
Andron of Halikarnassos
Andron of Halikarnassos was an ancient historian and the author of The kinsmen , a prose work primarily concerning heroic myths and genealogies, which survives in numerous fragments by later authors. A sure date for Andron's career is not possible, but textual similarities to other authors, and two inscriptions honoring him and the historian Herodotus of Halikarnassos and the poet Panyassis, suggest dating him to the late fifth or early fourth ce…
Andreas of Panormus
Andreas of Panormus was the author of the Sikelika , a history of the poleis of Sicily written at an unknown date. The only surviving ancient reference to his work, in the Deipnosophistae of Athenaeus of Naukratis, mentions his description of the sambuca , a kind of siege engine supported by two ships. The existence of the sambuca is confirmed by other authors such as Polybius and Plutarch.
Andron of Alexandria
Andron of Alexandria was a local historian of Alexandria who most likely wrote during the late Ptolemaic period. A single fragment of his Chronicles is preserved in the Deipnosophists of Athenaeus of Naukratis, written in the secon0064 or third century ce , and discusses the treatment of Alexandrian intellectuals in the reign of Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II.
Aelius Dios ( FGrH 629)
Ailios Dios was a historian and author of On Alexandria , written in Greek, of which only a single fragment survives. It is likely that he wrote sometime between the late second and late fourth centuries ce .

Akesandros of Cyrene ( FGrH 469)
Akesandros of Cyrene ( FGrH 469) was the author of On Cyrene , a local history of Cyrene in Libya, written between the fourth and second centuries bce . What little survives of his work exists in select fragments.
Decimation in the Roman Republic
Decimatio, or executing a portion, usually a tenth, of a Roman legionary unit, is regarded as a quintessential example of old-fashioned military discipline. It is nonetheless poorly attested in the earlier Republic, though in the first century we find more instances. This paper examines its literary manifestations and scrutinizes its historicity. By considering soldiers' access to provocatio, cultural and legal prescripts on subjecting citizens t…
Priests and Politicians
This article reconsiders negative scholarly evaluations of the offices of rex sacrorum and flamen Dialis in the middle republic, emphasizing these priesthoods' social prominence in an era of heightened electoral competition. It then argues that the flaminate aided the Cornelii Scipiones in strategies for public distinction in the 170s b.c.e
