I think one of the principle reasons why the Ante-Nicean fathers may have considered that the Book of Revelation was history rather than prophecy . . ."

Um, but they didn't. They very distinctly regarded it as prophecy. The preterist point of view while found in its infancy in some of the pre-Nicean writers, didn't really take hold until the time of Origen and Augustine.
