George and Justin's book has challenged the phantom of Kaisergeschichte, arguing for a big history work of Sextus Aurelius Victor, preserved only through abbreviations and fragments. Bleckmann expressed his scepticism of their thesis in a review of their book, dismissing it as just another model.

This workshop has not been advertised that much, but for anyone interested in Late Antique Latin historiography and recent groundbreaking developments in our understanding of it this looks extremely interesting. I am really sad I will not be able to attend.

Apollinaris the Elder victimized as another Pompey, Sidonius Apollinaris suggests in a hitherto unnoticed allusion to Lucan. See Joop van Waarden, ‘The Death and Public Rehabilitation of Apollinaris the Elder' in the latest issue of CQ 74 (2024) 309-14; open access doi.org/10.1017/S000...
