The work, which is modeled on Suetonius, purports to be written by six different authors and quotes documents and public records extensively. Since we possess no continuous account of the emperors of the second and third centuries, the Historia Augusta has naturally attracted keen attention. In the last century it has also generated the gravest suspicions. Present opinion holds that the whole is the work of a single author (who lived in the time of Theodosius) and contains much that is plagiarism and even downright forgery. 517 $aHistoria Augusta, Volume II 606 $aEmperors$vBiography$zRome 606 $aEmperors$zRome 615 0$aEmperors 615 0$aEmperors 676 $a937.060922 700 $aMagie$b David$0204092 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996199218703316 996 $aHistoria Augusta$93575978 997 $aUNISA
