Quintus Curtius Rufus

Quintus Curtius Rufus

Quintus Curtius Rufus was a Roman historian who is generally thought to have written his works during the reign of Emperor Claudius (41-54 CE).

His work is fluidly written, but reveals ignorance of geography, chronology and technical military knowledge, focusing instead on character.
