Appian wrote his Roman History in the second century AD as a series
of books arranged geographically to chronicle the rise of the Roman
Empire. His Iberike, of which this is the first translation with
historical commentary in English, deals with the Romans' wars in
the Iberian peninsula from the third to the first centuries BC. It
is the only continuous source for much of the history of this
crucial period in one of the earliest regions of Rome's imperial
expansion, and so fills in the gap made by the loss of Livy's later
books. He describes the major campaigns of the conquest from the
defeat of the Carthaginians by Scipio Africanus, the wars against
the Celtiberians, the war against the Lusitanians under Viriathus
and the siege of Numantia. The value of the text is not merely as a
chronicle of otherwise obscure events, Appian was an historian who
deserves to be studied in his own right. This scholarly edition
presents the Greek text with facing-page English translation,
accompanied by an introduction, historical commentary and copious
notes.
