C. Velleius Paterculus was a Roman historian who lived during the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius. He is best known for his 'Compendium of Roman History' (Historiae Romanae), a concise overview of Roman history from the Trojan War to the early years of Tiberius' reign. His work offers valuable insights into the political and social landscape of the early Roman Empire, albeit with a perspective clearly favoring the imperial regime.
