Gabriele Marasco is Professor of Roman History at Università della Tuscia. He published many books and studies on Hellenistic and Roman History, from a Commentary on Plutarch’s Agis and Cleomenes (Rome, 1981) to a book on Philostorgius (Rome, 2005). For Brill he edited Greek and Roman Historiography in Late Antiquity (2003).

"This is a welcome volume on an important topic. A series of recent works on autobiography has reminded us of the significance of this genre of ancient literature, and has carried the debate forward from Misch and Momigliano.1 This volume is carefully curated to offer an overview of the subject from the Greek period to late antiquity, and is in effect a handbook on the subject, and better than anything else in existence." - Christopher Smith, in: BMCR, 23.04.2012"eine höchst nützliche Sammlung von Arbeiten zu den verschiedensten Werken, in denen politische Handlungsträger über ihr eigenes Handeln schrieben. (...) Es ist ein sehr gutes Buch von Spezialisten über ein wenig beachtetes Thema, das für alle Interessierten, auch die Spezialisten, wichtig sein wird." - Stefan Schorn, in: Historischen Zeitschrift 298/1, pp. 133-134
