Why is it important for historians to use a wide range of sources when finding out about the past?
The main reasons are as follows:Some sources are unreliable or, at least, not entirely trustworthy; some may be largely opinion.Comparing a number of different sources may enable a researcher to assess the reliability of the various sources, find out which sources repeat stuff from earlier sources and so on. The researcher may be able to establish any bias in the sources.Some accounts that are treated as sources may have first been written long after the events described. For example, most of the 'sources' about King Arthur were first written at least 400 years after his death and are best regarded as literary works, not historical sources.Some sources may be largely propaganda.It is highly unlikely that a small group of sources contain all interesting details about an event. The more sources available, the likelihood that they contain a wider range of details.By analyzing the frequency of mentioned details across multiple sources, it can be inferred how important that detail about the even is.

There are three categories for historians and their source material: Primary: ancient historians existed at the time of the event Secondary: ancient historians existed after the event and analysed/used primary sources modern: Modern historaians who use either of the above majority of the primary sources do not criticize Augustus and idolize him, in contrast some secondary sources like Tacitus hate Augustus Overall however it is agreed(by many modern historians) that Augustus was emperor because of his freinds Marcus vipsanius Agrippa and Gaius Maecanus. The primary sources(historians) were either sychophantic or terrified of persecution by Augustus, the Secondary sources are also biased because they were hired by patrons with vested interests in Augustus's depiction.
