Byzantine Juvenal

He/Him - 25M | A place to record the notes and thoughts of a Late Antiquity Graduate Student

[de-perambulando-ulfilo]

"Those who are unacquainted with ancient records say that today the state has never been more overshadowed by such a dark cloud of peril, but they are deceived by the horror of the recent troubles which have overwhelmed them. For if they study earlier times or those which have recently passed, they will learn quickly that such dire disturbances have often happened."

(Ammianus, Res Gestae 31.5.11)
