We owe many debts in bringing such a large project to fruition, and it is a pleasure to have the opportunity to thank all the people who have helped us along the way. Eric Schmidt at UC Press has been an invaluable ally; his support and involvement at every stage have ensured its timely completion. The Department of History at the University of California, San Diego funded and provided the venue for a conference that brought the editors and many of the contributors together in January 2014. Thanks to Jamie Gonzalezs excellent oversight of the event, the project gained both the shape and momentum it would need to keep going for the next several years. The anonymous readers for UC Press offered pointed comments and thoughtful criticism that helped us refine the project. A grant from Fordham University covered the costs of copy editing. We owe special gratitude to Diane S. Fruchtman, who read through, edited, and standardized the entire manuscript, and Jonathan Martin, who made the index. Cindy Fulton, Marian Rogers, and the rest of the editorial team at UC Press shepherded us through the final stages of publication with cheerful efficiency and impeccable professionalism. Last, but certainly not least, we want to thank our contributors; their enthusiastic adherence and dedication have made this volume a reality.

Letters have long been an object of attention for scholars of ancient history, and yet the privileged relationship between epistolography and historiographyone that extends back to antiquity itselfhas often been uneasy. For instance, ancient readers of Ciceros letters to Atticus thought they offered an actual history of the late Republic, but modern readers in the nineteenth century, guided by the imperatives of scientific historiography, viewed letters differently. Rather than treating letters as literary documents that, like narrative historiography, used a reconstruction of the past to develop certain historical themes and illustrate the character of individuals, these modern historians mined letters for the raw material, so to speak, of unmediated information on which they could base an accurate reconstruction of the classical and postclassical past. Letters were understood to be unbiased captured conversationsa counterpoint to the digressions, biases, and thematic concerns complicating the use of ancient narrative historiography.
