Summary/Abstract: Ammianus’ extant books offer unusually rich material on the events concerning the kingdom of Greater Armenia. This paper presents a general survey of Ammianus’ information and use of Armenian history in order to justify his own political judgements. Some final considerations are drawn on the inter-textual relations of the Historiae with the model work represented by Tacitus’ Annales.
