Res Gestae is devoted to the military and diplomatic struggle for Armenia between Valens, emperor of the East, and king Sapor II of Persia. The Romans successfully defend their position, until they are forced to deal with the Goths who threaten to cross the Danube border. The second half of Book 30 is dominated by Valentinian I, emperor of the West. Ammianus presents a kaleidoscopic picture of this emperor alternating between admiration for his military qualities and devotion to his duty and bitter criticism of his avarice and cruelty. The account of his death forms the conclusion of Ammianus? treatment of the history of the western half of the Empire. 410 0$aPhilological and Historical Commentary on Ammianus Marcellinus$v11. 606 $aHistoriography$2fast 607 $aRome$xHistory$xHistoriography$yEmpire, 284-476 607 $aRome (Empire)$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 7$aHistoriography. 676 $a937/.08 701 $aBoeft$b J. den$0280787 701 $aDrijvers$b Jan Willem$0637496 701 $aHengst$b Danie?l den$0280788 701 $aTeitler$b H.
