Military operations in the western and eastern half of the Empire take up a large part of the available space. Apart from military matters Ammianus deals with internal affairs. He discusses the terms of office of four Roman urban prefects and paints a picture of Petronius Probus, the mightiest civil official of the period. The most striking part of the book contains a portrait of the emperor Valentinian. This passage forms the centre of the book, which therefore has the structure of a triptych: of the two outer parts each contains military affairs in the West and the East and reports on some notable non-military events, whilst in the central panel Valentinian takes pride of place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47891544146071,"sku":"9789004180376","price":21614.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004180376.webp?v=1781184058","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/philological-and-historical-commentary-on-ammianus-marcellinus-xxvii-9789004180376","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
