Introduction, Translation, and Historical Commentary with the Latin Text of R.A.B.Mynors. "Panegyrics are topical speeches or poems delivered in praise of rulers and other public figures, both living and deceased....'In Praise of Later Roman Emperors' provides...an annotated English translation of the eleven later panegyrics in the corpus, as well as the original Latin text prepared by R.A.B.Mynors...Nixon and Rodgers have managed to render the very difficult Latin of the panegyrics into graceful English, while at the same time remaining faithful to the original."
