요약This dissertation answers two related questions: When did Roman historians first treat their history as a narrative of decline, and how did this narrative evolve? The answer emerges from three main areas of analysis, namely the fragmentary beginnings of Roman historiography, comparison of these fragments with the early historiographic tradition of China, and examination of the later reception of the decline narratives in Tacitus's histories.The argument first defines the 'decline' as constructed in historiographic narrative in distinction to the formulation of decline as a general theory. Then, by considering the earliest Roman historiographic fragments in the context of the Second Punic War and its aftermath, it undermines the common assumption that pessimism in the style of Sallust and Livy prevailed ab initio. Probably it emerged only in the later second century B.C.E., perhaps in the annals of Piso Frugi. The argument then addresses the issue of how the form of annals and chronicles can accommodate grand narratives such as that of general decline. The early Chinese chronicle Chunqiu 春秋 and its annalistic commentary Zuozhuan 左傳 demonstrate that grand narratives can emerge by deliberate implication from the selection and shaping of anecdotes. On this model, we can see in Calpurnius Piso Frugi and other Roman annalists the possible vestiges of an implicit, thematically complex narrative of decline that has been obscured by the later, explicit accounts. A further evolution of the decline theme, particularly in the ways that Tacitus's histories respond to Republican and Imperial narratives, also belies the assumed ubiquity of Sallust's and Livy's visions of a golden age followed by decay. Thus the answer to the initial questions is that a decline narrative was absent in the earliest historians; later, in Piso and others, it may have emerged in a form quite different from Sallust and Livy.

■520    ▼aThis  dissertation  answers  two  related  questions:  When  did  Roman  historians  first  treat  their  history  as  a  narrative  of  decline,  and  how  did  this  narrative  evolve?  The  answer  emerges  from  three  main  areas  of  analysis,  namely  the  fragmentary  beginnings  of  Roman  historiography,  comparison  of  these  fragments  with  the  early  historiographic  tradition  of  China,  and  examination  of  the  later  reception  of  the  decline  narratives  in  Tacitus's  histories.The  argument  first  defines  the  'decline'  as  constructed  in  historiographic  narrative  in  distinction  to  the  formulation  of  decline  as  a  general  theory.  Then,  by  considering  the  earliest  Roman  historiographic  fragments  in  the  context  of  the  Second  Punic  War  and  its  aftermath,  it  undermines  the  common  assumption  that  pessimism  in  the  style  of  Sallust  and  Livy  prevailed  ab  initio.  Probably  it  emerged  only  in  the  later  second  century  B.C.E.,  perhaps  in  the  annals  of  Piso  Frugi.  The  argument  then  addresses  the  issue  of  how  the  form  of  annals  and  chronicles  can  accommodate  grand  narratives  such  as  that  of  general  decline.  The  early  Chinese  chronicle  Chunqiu  春秋  and  its  annalistic  commentary  Zuozhuan  左傳  demonstrate  that  grand  narratives  can  emerge  by  deliberate  implication  from  the  selection  and  shaping  of  anecdotes.  On  this  model,  we  can  see  in  Calpurnius  Piso  Frugi  and  other  Roman  annalists  the  possible  vestiges  of  an  implicit,  thematically  complex  narrative  of  decline  that  has  been  obscured  by  the  later,  explicit  accounts.  A  further  evolution  of  the  decline  theme,  particularly  in  the  ways  that  Tacitus's  histories  respond  to  Republican  and  Imperial  narratives,  also  belies  the  assumed  ubiquity  of  Sallust's  and  Livy's  visions  of  a  golden  age  followed  by  decay.  Thus  the  answer  to  the  initial  questions  is  that  a  decline  narrative  was  absent in  the  earliest  historians;  later,  in  Piso  and  others,  it  may  have  emerged  in  a  form  quite  different  from  Sallust  and  Livy.
