Superbe édition originale maroquinée de l’Historia Romana de Sextus Aurelius Victor, texte classique de l’Antiquité tardive offrant un abrégé de l’histoire des empereurs romains, d’Auguste à son époque. Rédigée au IVe siècle, cette œuvre se distingue par sa concision, son style direct et son souci de synthèse, en faisant une source précieuse pour la connaissance de l’Empire romain.

Redécouvert et largement diffusé à la Renaissance, Aurelius Victor fut particulièrement apprécié des humanistes pour la clarté de son propos et la valeur historique de ses notices biographiques sur les empereurs. Son ouvrage s’inscrit dans la tradition des abrégés historiques, destinés à transmettre de manière accessible les grandes lignes de l’histoire romaine.
