    A good study book
  

*by A***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2012*

Quintus Curtius Rufus lived in the Roman Empire of the first century and is the author of this History of Alexander.It makes good reading for his style is that of what we would call today a journalist. He loves to elaborate and embellish the stories he apparently found in his main source of Cleitarchus, so be aware to keep a critical eye on the events he is describing.Basically any story about Alexander the Great that has come to us has a core of truth and Curtius' story is no exception. However most critics seem to accept him as a reliable informant when it comes to geography, so there is definitely enough merit to spend time reading his work.All in all Alexander's history was spread over ten books, eight of which have generally survived except for some material from books 5, 6 and 10. Unfortunately the two missing books are the first two and we only pickup Alexander's life story with the events of 333 BC.My copy is an edition from the Loeb Classical Library (containing also the original Latin text) in a translation by John C Rolfe, published in two volumes: Books I-V and Books VI-X. It contains a rather general (tiny) map of Alexander's conquests but an extensive Index at the end of the second volume, which is extremely useful when doing specific research.
