Problem
• How does Ammianus depict "barbarian" peoples like the Goths and the Huns? How does he depict the relationship between "barbarians" and Romans?
• Can you get any sense as to Ammianus' motivations for his writing? Is there a point or an argument that he is trying to make?
• What is the book Ammanius Marcellinus, The Later Roman Empire, about? I am trying to understand it.
