	Marcus Velleius Paterculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The repetitions, redundancies, and slovenliness of expression may be partly due to the haste with which (as the author frequently states) it was written.
		The inflated rhetoric, the straining after effect by means of hyperbole, antithesis and epigram, belong firmly to the Silver Age, of which Paterculus is the earliest example.
		He purposed to write a fuller history of the later period, including the civil war between Caesar and Pompey and the wars of Tiberius; but there is no evidence that he did so.

	Velleius Paterculus
		Velleius Paterculus' Roman history -in fact a brief compendium and not a full-scale study of the past- is the most important source for the story of his life and family.
		Paterculus' grandfather Caius Velleius had been prefect of the military engineers (praefectus fabrum) in the army of Marcus Brutus, the man who had killed Julius Caesar in 44 BCE and tried to restore the Roman republic.
		When Velleius Paterculus, the subject of this article, was born in c.20 BCE, the Germanic wars were about to begin, and it is likely that the future historian spent his youth in one of the military settlements along the Rhine.

		Some blemishes of style, particularly the clumsy and involved structure of his sentences, may perhaps be ascribed to insufficient literary training.
		The inflated rhetoric, the strain~ ing after effect by means of hyperbole, antithesis and epigram, mark the degenerate taste of the Silver Age, of which Paterculus is the earliest example.
		He purposed to write a fuller history of the later period, which should include the civil war between Caesar and Pompey and the wars of Tiberius; but there is no evidence that he carried out this intention.

	Velleius Paterculus
		In those days, Paterculus' now deservedly famous description of the conflict between the Romans and the Germanic tribes, which culminates in his account of the battle in the Teutoburg Forest, seemed remarkably relevant to the conflict between the German reformer Marten Luther and the Roman Catholic church.
		Paterculus is also indebted to the Roman historian Sallustius (86-34), who stated that the fall of Carthage in 146 had been the most important turning point in the history of Rome.
		Paterculus reflects upon the human condition, gives a balanced and not uncritical portrait of a man he has known, and changes in a few lines from what amounts to comedy to sad tragedy.

	Velleius Paterculus - Wikipedia
		Marcus is de naam die we voor hem vinden bij Priscianus, maar sommige geleerden menen hem te kunnen identificeren met Gaius Velleius Paterculus, een naam die gevonden werd op een Noord-Afrikaanse mijlsteen (C.I.L. Corpus Inscriptionis Latinis) VIII 10, 311).
		Velleius vermeldt dan ook in I 16 (in hac tam praecipiti festinatione) dat zijn werk haastig geschreven is, en dat hij mogelijk er een herziene versie van zal uitbrengen.
		Het lijkt er echter op dat hij daartoe niet meer is gekomen.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.9.19
		Velleius is not an historian in the tradition of Thucydides or Polybius, but his history is one of the most important documents attesting to the ideology of the Augustan and Tiberian ages, a critical source of information for Augustan self-presentation, and the shape of the Roman mentalité.
		Velleius was one of the victors of the Roman Revolution.
		Velleius' et hoc sane numium fuit clearly reflects something of the ideology of the Augustan age, where the example of the headgear of Caesar was avoided, and an elaborate fantasy was concocted to justify Augustus' choice of a crown for himself.

		Velleius Paterculus, who lived in the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius (30 BC–AD 37), served as a military tribune in Thrace, Macedonia, Greece and Asia Minor, and later, from AD 4 to 12 or 13, as a cavalry officer and legatus in Germany and Pannonia.
		It is a unique document giving short details of his public offices and honours; his benefactions to the empire, to the people, and to the soldiers; and his services as a soldier and as an administrator.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.02.08
		The "universal history" of Velleius Paterculus falls within the great lacuna of Roman history between Livy and Tacitus and includes material contemporary to the writer.
		The introduction ends with an interesting proposal that is a bit misguided: Velleius' oft deprecated "mediocrity" may work to the cultural historian's advantage by providing a representation of the zeitgeist of the author's milieu.
		This is certainly misleading for Velleius doubtless intended an erudite and virtuoso performance.

		Velleius Paterculus was a military tribune under Augustus, a prefect of the horse, a legate, a quaestor and finally a praetor under Tiberius.[1] He is known as an admirer of Tiberius, whom he served under, and of Sejanus, and this can be seen in the text.
		Velleius Paterculus is the only completely favorable source we have.
		Of course, Velleius Paterculus was a panegyrist of sorts, and praised Tiberius, whereas Tacitus strongly disapproved of the second emperor.

		Eigenständigkeit beweist Velleius vor allem in der nach literarischen Prinzipien durchgeführten Organisation des Materials und in seinem Interesse an kulturhistorischen Themen.
		Velleius’ Werk verdient es, nicht nur als Füllmaterial für Fußnoten und Gegenstand der Quellenkritik Verwendung zu finden, sondern als ein interpretationsfähiger und interpretationsbedürftiger Text sui iuris ernst genommen zu werden.

	Paterculus: The Tiberian Narrative - Cambridge University Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This volume deals with the most controversial part of Velleius’ work, regarded by the majority of modern scholars as a panegyrical biography of Tiberius and used as an excuse for dismissing the historical value of Velleius’ whole work.
		In the introduction Dr Woodman considers the nature of the Tiberian narrative in the light of the literary tradition, and argues that it is no more panegyrical than some of the most admired products of Roman historiography such as Livy and Ammianus.
		He also considers the transmission of Velleius’ text since its discovery in 1515, and argues that, contrary to the opinion of most nineteenth and twentieth-century editors, Rhenanus’ editio princeps of 1520 is a more reliable authority than Amerbach’s apograph of 1516.

		Zur Vorbereitung auf ihre eigene Ausgabe hat sich E. tief in den Sprachgebrauch des Velleius, sein Vokabular, seine stilistischen Eigenschaften, insbesondere die Verwendung der Demonstrativa und der chronologischen Angaben, und die Orthographie eingearbeitet und das dabei gewonnene Wissen auch in der introduzione dokumentiert (13-16; 39-45).
		Allerdings vermißt man eine Erörterung der Frage, welchen Platz Velleius in der Entwicklung der lateinischen Literatursprache einnimmt, wie es A. Dihle (RE 8A,1955, 655,9-20) schon vor mehr als vierzig Jahren als eine der Aufgaben fÿuur die künftige Beschäftigung mit Velleius gefordert hatte, ohne daß diese Forderung bis heute erfüllt wäre.
