Valerius Maximus

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Valerius Maximus (lived c.AD 30)

Roman historian. His work Factorum et Dictorum Memorabilium Libri IX/Nine Books of Memorable Deeds and Sayings, which was intended for use by public speakers, contained historical anecdotes exemplifying various vices and virtues. This work was popular with rhetoricians in the Middle Ages, and is interesting both as an example of the transition from classical to ‘silver’ Latin, and for its recording of many curious events.
