Breviarium Rerum Gestarum Populi Romani
Breviarium Rerum Gestarum Populi Romani
Composed for the emperor Valens around the same time and for the same purpose as Eutropius's history, Festus's shorter, more geographically focused breviarium concentrates heavily on Rome's wars and territorial gains along the eastern frontier Valens himself was then defending.
