“Annalists were different from historians, in that an annalist was more likely to just record events for reference purposes, rather than offering their own opinions of events. There is, however, some overlap between the two categories[1] and sometimes annalist is used to refer to both styles of writing from the Roman era.”}
- Suetonius, annalist of Imperial House in Roman era (A.D. 120)
