Eutropius

c. 320 CE–c. 390 CE · Constantinople (Istanbul)

Eutropius was a Roman historian of the later 4th century CE who held a high post in the imperial administration. He wrote the 'Breviarium,' a concise summary of Roman history from the founding of the city to his own day, composed for the emperor Valens. Its clarity made it a popular school text and an important source, later translated into Greek.
