The Roman History of Cassius Dio provides one of the most important
continuous narratives of the early Roman empire, spanning the
inception of the Principate under Augustus to the turbulent years
of the Severan Dynasty. It has been a major influence on how
scholars have thought about Roman imperial history, from the
Byzantine period down to the present day, as well as being a work
of considerable literary sophistication and merit. This book, the
product of an international collaborative project, brings together
thirteen chapters written by scholars based in Europe, North
America, and Australia. They offer new approaches to Dio's
representation of Roman emperors, their courtiers, and key
political constituencies such as the army and the people, as well
as the literary techniques he uses to illuminate his narrative,
from speeches to wonder narratives.
