Velleius Paterculus lived in the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius (30 BCE 37 CE) and wrote a summary of Roman history from the fall of Troy to 29 CE. In 13 14 CE Augustus wrote an account of his public life, "Res Gestae Divi Augusti," the best preserved copy of which was engraved on the walls of his temple at Ancyra (Ankara).
