The author of the puzzling text is not known, and there is no certainty about the date of composition. Nevertheless, the text is absorbing and significant in the study of Roman history. In this bilingual edition, Sherwin has made use of [a] reconstructed archetype [manuscript] to establish the most reliable Latin text.".
