This image can be seen in various forms of art, ranging from mirrors and frames to paintings and frescos. Louis XVI used a similar crest where he had a bow ribbon tying the quiver with the flambeau (torch). The flambeau is an ancient symbol of life and truth, while the quiver symbolises using force to pursue justice. This symbol might also be a reference to Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunting, who was commonly depicted with a bow and arrow, and sometimes a torch, among other hunting equipment.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 230 x 310 x 50 mm (approx.)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpine warped with very minor scuffing and rubbing, and a tear with lacking fragment to the top of the backstrip.

Some scholars suggest that Historia Alexandri Magni was written by a rhetorician named Quintus Curtius Rufus, or that the author was a relative of one or both of these men. Just as the identity of the author is uncertain, the time period in which he wrote is a source of debate. Historia Alexandri Magni was probably written during the time of Claudius (41-54 AD) or Vespasian (69-79), though possible dates have ranged from the time of Augustus (27 BC-14 AD) to the fourth century AD.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHistoria Alexandri Magni is \"the only known Latin historiographical monograph\" on Alexander the Great. Each book consists of a series of episodes that emphasise larger themes of kingship, power, and fortune. Though readers in the Middle Ages admired Historia for its style and moral tone, twentieth century classicists have criticised the author’s style and methodology. Some consider his characterisation of Alexander inconsistent, alternately portraying him \"as a good man corrupted by success and fortune,\" and \"as a man who was vicious by nature.\" Others accuse the author of being a careless and sensational writer, and call Historia a work of historical fiction.
