Summary:

Fruit of a large international collaboration, the present volume collects 28 papers produced by experts especially for this project. Its chief aim is to provide a contribution to the studies on the writing of history in Greco-Roman Antiquity from Herodotus to the Byzantine Empire. It is made up of researches concentrated on the main historians and historical texts of the period and tackles one specific subject: the relation between these texts and historians with their predecessors, who could have been used either as sources of information or literary models, or both at the same time. Whatever be the case, each situation give rise to re-readings of each historian's historiographical project: if there is one idea pervading all the texts here collected--the diversity of approaches was thought from the start to be the one of the hallmarks of the volume--it is that each testimony should be addressed by reallocating it in the context of its own production, since these testimonies shed light both upon the moment when they were written and the one they describe.
