The Romuleon was a Latin work describing the history of Rome, compiled by Benvenuto da Imola in the mid-fourteenth century from a number of earlier texts.
It was later translated into French by two separate writers:
- The Romuléon of Jean Miélot, made in 1460 for Philip the Good.[1]
- The Romuléon of Sébastien Mamerot, made in 1466 for Louis de Laval, seigneur de Châtillon.
A second Latin version was produced by Adamo Montaldo in the 1490s.[2]
Mamerot's translation was published in a modern edition in 2000.[3]
