My previous topic seems to disappear.

In Russian historical science �Historia Augusta� is usually considered as some kind of fiction, not reliable historical source. Criticism is often not scientific but personal, sometimes it`s not even criticism but personal hostility... I`m interested whether foreign historians act like Russian ones?
