Eusebius of Caesarea

c. 325 AD

Eusebius of Caesarea (c. 263–339 CE) was a Roman priest and historian who wrote “Universal History” divided into two books. It is also called the Chronicon or, The Chronicle and was written in Greek.

The original books are lost, but quotations are preserved by later historians, which makes it possible to reconstruct his work. Both books survive in a translation to Armenian, and Jerome’s latin translation preserve the second book. Syncellus made substantial quotes of Eusebius and thus preserved his work too. Eusebius’ account is less detailed than Africanus’, omitting numerous rulers and their details, indicating that his source was imperfect and inferior. The last date preserved is 325 CE.

The first part, the Chronography, is a sort of narrative of universal history from the sources, arranged by nation.

The second part, the Canons, put the historical material into a parallel timeline, listing the reigns of each nation side-by-side, for every year.
