lOO ROMAN LITERATURE.
Valerius Maximus ^ was not an historian but only a compiler of notes and anecdotes. He wrote, under Tiberius, factoruni et dictorum ttietnorabilium libri IX, of which two compendia from the fifth and seventh centuries are extant. They were probably written as a collection of models for rhetoricians, and for the purpose of earning money. The examples..., taken alternately from Roman and foreign history, are arranged according to certain topics, as de religione, de niiraculis ; according to the different virtues and vices, and the like. The treatment is in the highest degree lacking in judgment and taste, frequently even nonsensical and childish, while the style is often absurdly sprawling and needlessly pathetic. In addition to this, there occasionally appears disgusting flattery of the imperial family. At the most, some value can be ascribed to the compilation for the material it contains, though it is much too uncritical and rhetorical to be able to serve as a reliable historical authority.
