The Chronica by the grammarian Apollodorus of Athens (2nd century BC) was an exemplary chronographical reference work. It was composed in trimeters and represents the first Iambic didactic poem ever. So far, the surviving original verses have hardly been appreciated and analyzed in their own terms. Therefore a comprehensive collection of these verses is provided, including an introduction, edition, translation and commentary. Most verses stem from Philodemus' Index Academicorum, a Herculanean papyrus. Through the use of new imaging techniques and cutting-edge editing methods, enormous textual progress has been made. Many verses have been newly restored or significantly improved. They often reveal new hard facts about Academic philosophers and also bear some relevance for the dating of the Chronica and for Apollodorus' biography. In short, this collection guarantees easy access to the genuine verses of the Chronica, as originally drafted by Apollodorus, and thereby facilitates a contextualization or comparison with other (Iambic) didactic poems on a dramatically changed textual basis. The scope of the book fulfills various scholarly desiderata from a historical, philosophical, philological and literary-critical standpoint.

Appian's Celtic History, which deals with the military conflicts between Romans and Celts from the 4th cent. BC until the conquest of Gaul by Caesar, is despite its fragmentary state a valuable source, as it contains various information documented nowhere else or significantly different to those traditions attested by other authors. In addition to the Greek text and a German translation of the individual fragments, the present publication offers above all the first detailed commentary, which makes this little regarded source accessible.

In der Zeit des Kaisers Maurikios (582-602) blühte das Genre der klassischen Geschichtsschreibung ein letztes Mal auf. In den Darstellungen des Menandros Protektor, des Theophanes von Byzanz, in den profangeschichtlichen Teilen der Kirchengeschichten des Johannes von Ephesos und des Euagrios von Epiphaneia wurden die dramatischen Ereignisse der Epoche des Justin II. und des Tiberios Konstantinos beschrieben. Die Geschichtsschreibung der Epoche des Maurikios wird auch bei Theophylaktos Simokates reflektiert, der zum großen Teil Johannes von Epiphaneia verwendet hat. Die reichhaltige historiographische Produktion dieser Zeit markiert das Ende einer seit Herodot bestehenden kulturellen Praxis. Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der umfangreichen Reste, die vom uvre des Menandros Protektor erhalten geblieben sind, untersucht Bruno Bleckmann die traditionellen Elemente dieser Geschichtsschreibung, wie zum Beispiel die Einlage von Reden. Er analysiert die Motive, die die Geschichtsschreiber leiteten, aber auch die Aufnahme neuer Themen, darunter etwa die Berücksichtigung der Reliquienverehrung und des Heiligen Krieges
