"Acts" is a work by the Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus, dedicated to the history of the Roman Empire in the 4th century.

A Greek by birth and Roman in spirit, an experienced military man and a brilliant intellectual, Ammianus was a contemporary of the events he describes, spanning the period 353–378 CE. The crisis of Constantine the Great's dynasty, Julian the Apostate's brief attempt to restore paganism, the tragic war with the Persians, which ended with the defeat of the Roman legions at Ctesiphon, the first division of the empire between Valens and Valentinian, barbarian invasions, and the catastrophic Battle of Adrianople—the book offers a comprehensive portrait of the era when Rome was still great and the threats that ultimately destroyed the empire were just emerging.

This book is intended for historians, philologists, students of the humanities, and anyone interested in the classical era and Roman history.
