Publisher Description This book presents a translation, with commentary, of a major Roman source on the end of the reign of Alexander the Great. Book 10 of Curtius Histories covers the reign of terror and mutiny that followed upon Alexanders return from India; and offers the fullest account of the power struggle that began in Babylon immediately after his death. The Introduction establishes a profile of Curtius Rufus (quite probably a Roman Senator of the first century AD),and his agenda as a historian. John Yardleys translation and the commentary are designed for the reader without Latin. The Commentary provides detailed analysis of the historical events of the crucial period325-3 BC covered by Curtius, and also tries to get behind the surface level of meaning to show how Curtius intended his history to be a text for his time.
