Anonymus Valesianus, Latter Part (Chronica Theodericiana)

Two unrelated texts were first printed together by Henri de Valois in 1636 and have carried his name since. The first is a fourth-century life of Constantine, cited in this wiki as the Origin of the Emperor Constantine. The second, cited here, was written about 550 by an unknown author and runs from the emperor Nepos to the death of Theoderic. Its editor J. C. Rolfe thought that it drew on a lost chronicle by Maximianus, bishop of Ravenna from 546.

The author writes about seventy years after the events of 476, as a Catholic hostile to Arianism, and he quotes the Life of Severinus by Eugippius. He gives exact days for several battles around Ravenna. His sections are numbered continuously with the first text, so the account of Romulus Augustulus is cited as chapter 8, sections 37–38.
