Cassius Dio (c. 160-c. 230) is a familiar name to Roman historians,
but still an enigmatic one. His text has shaped our understanding
of his own period and earlier eras, but basic questions remain
about his Greek and Roman cultural identities and his literary and
intellectual influences. Contributors to this volume read Dio
against different backgrounds including the politics of the Severan
court, the cultural milieu of the Second Sophistic and Roman
traditions of historiography and political theory. Dio emerges as
not just a recounter of events, but a representative of his times
in all their complexity.
