Reign of Antoninus Pius

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I have placed at the commencement of my essay a list of the books to which reference has been made in the following pages, and of the abbreviations which I have used. In neither case is the list quite com plete; but I have referred only incidentally to those books which I have not included in the list, while the abbreviations not included will explain themselves readily.
