Rómverja saga exists in two versions: an older and longer, but poorly preserved version in AM 595a-b 4to; and a younger, abridged version in AM 226 fol, copied in AM 225 fol.[4]
There are close parallels between sections of Veraldar saga and Rómverja saga. Hofmann proposed that Veraldar saga takes its Roman history from Rómverja saga.[5] Þorbjörg Helgadóttir instead considers that the two sagas both used the same Latin sources: Sallust and Lucan.[6]
