Reconfiguring the Imperial Past : Narrative Patterns and Historical Interpretation in Herodian's History of the Empire. - 1st ed. - 1 online resource (405 pages) - Historiography of Rome and Its Empire Series ; v.15 . - Historiography of Rome and Its Empire Series .

This book argues that Herodian uses an orderly and coherent historiographical form to reconfigure and explicate a most chaotic period of Roman history. Through patterning he offers a distinctive interpretative framework in which successive reigns and individual emperors need to be read in a dovetailed way.
