This volume explores counterfactual episodes (“what would have happened if…?”) in the literature of the Roman Empire in the Imperial, Late Antique, and Byzantine periods. In the first study of its kind, the authors engage with writers including Plutarch, the emperor Julian and Nonnus of Panopolis to understand how they imagined alternative pasts and futures. A landmark new edited collection, it will be of interest of all those studying the literature and cultural history of the Mediterranean in the first millennium.

Este volumen estudia episodios contrafactuales («¿qué habría pasado si...?») en la literatura greco-romana de los periodos imperial, tardoantiguo y bizantino. Se trata del primer estudio de este tipo, en el que se analiza la obra de escritores como Plutarco, el emperador Juliano o Nono de Panópolis para comprender cómo imaginaban pasados y futuros alternativos. Se trata de una obra de referencia que resultará de interés para todos aquellos que estudian la literatura y la historia cultural del Mediterráneo en el primer milenio.
