Ammianus Marcellinus, c. 325-395 A.D., a Greek by birth, but wrote in the Latin language. His history of the Roman Empire forms a continuation
of that of Tacitus, and covers the period from the accession of Nerva to the death of Valens, A.D. 96-378. The first edition
was printed in Rome in 1474.
Henri de Valois [Valesius], 1603-1676, French classical scholar, first published his edition of Ammianus in 1636. This second edition was published
by his brother Adrien de Valois, 1607-1692, who incorporated also the notes of Lindenbrog.
