Abstract

The aim of this paper is to offer a review of two important publications about Herodian’s History, one written by Ch. S. Chrysanthou and another edited by A. Galimberti, taking the opportunity to offer the reader a general picture of the research that has laid the foundations of the critical refocus and the revaluation of Herodian’s work.
