Roman biographies of foreign commanders.Cornelius Nepos was born in Cisalpine Gaul but lived in Rome and was a friend of Cicero, Atticus, and Catullus. Most of his writings, which included poems, moral examples from history, a chronological sketch of general history, a geographical work, Lives of Cato the Elder and Cicero, and other biographies, are lost. Extant is a portion of his De viris illustribus: (i) part of his parallel Lives of Roman and non-Roman famous men, namely the portion containing Lives of non-Roman generals (all Greeks except three) and a chapter on kings; and (ii) two Lives from the class of historians. The Lives are short popular biographies of various kinds, written in a usually plain readable style, of value today because of Nepos’ use of many good sources.

Cornelius Nepos was a Roman biographer who lived in the first century BC. His simple style of writing has made him a comparatively easy and popular author for use in Latin classes at early school level. This book contains the Latin text of his Lives of Alcibiades, Dion and Atticus, with a short historical introduction and illustrations.This edition contains three of Nepos' short biographies, and aims to provide beginners with an early means of escape from synthetic Latin. There is a useful general introduction, and further introductions to each Life, a short English summary before each chapter, and annotation that helps with both subject matter and points of syntax and grammar which might present difficulties to the intelligent beginner. The volume ends with a full index of proper names and a comprehensive vocabulary. The lives of Alcibiades, Dion and Atticus were selected for their literary associations and to emphasise continuity between the worlds of Greece and Rome.
