Description: [L'Année philologique] [Comment] Ammianus' combination of Greek and Roman elements in his work, especially his characterization of the emperor Julian in terms of Platonic and Ciceronian virtues, reflects his concern for the imminent end of the unity between Greek and Roman cultures which had flourished for centuries.
