Historians and Chroniclers in Ancient Rome
#1
I have been wondering what roles historians and chroniclers played in ancient Roman society? Where they respected, who were these men and who employed them? The emperors? the senate? the legions? I was hoping that since we are all historians (professional or amateur), we could collectively put our heads together and find out what we can about our ancient and noble profession.
