Description
Dio Cassius’ Roman History contains the fullest surviving account of the reign of Augustus. This edition of Books 53–55 covers the years 28–5 BC and includes Dio’s extended discussion of the constitutional settlement of 27 BC and the imperial system it inaugurated. Ancient Greek text with facing translation, introduction and commentary.
‘This volume adds much to the study of Roman history. Students, scholars, and interested persons will find this updated version of an important ancient author interesting and helpful.’
Classical World
‘Rich brings to bear two admirable qualities: serious attention to Dio as a thinker in his own right and a broad familiarity with the history and scholarship of the Augustan period... a useful guide to at least a part of the best extant history of the regime we possess.’
