BOEFT, J. den, J.W. DRIJVERS, a.o., Philological and Historical Commentary on Ammianus Marcellinus XXX. Brill, Leiden / Boston, 2015. XIX,257p. With two maps. Original blue gilt titled cloth. Nice copy. Like new. ‘The penultimate instalment of the commentary on Ammianus Marcellinus follows the well-established mould of the series with detailed line-by-line discussion of philological and historical questions. As usual the commentary provides a wealth of information and is a good guide to recent scholarship on the various aspects the text touches upon and to the numerous problems posed by the text. Indeed, several conjectures are proposed. The authors should receive praise for their continuing commitment to the project and for offering readers of Ammianus a fixed point of reference to start their own investigations.’ PETER VAN NUFFELEN in L’Antiquité Classic, 2017, p.293). € 125.00 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9789004299955
