Book Synopsis The Intellectual Climate of Cassius Dio by : Adam M. Kemezis
Download or read book The Intellectual Climate of Cassius Dio written by Adam M. Kemezis and published by Historiography of Rome and Its. This book was released on 2022 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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"--

Book Synopsis Cassius Dio: Greek Intellectual and Roman Politician by :
Download or read book Cassius Dio: Greek Intellectual and Roman Politician written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award Cassius Dio: Greek Intellectual and Roman Politician, a collection of essays on this historian, is the first to appear in the new Brill series Historiography of Rome and Its Empire. The volume brings together case studies that highlight various aspects of Dio’s Roman History, focusing on previously ignored or misunderstood aspects of his narrative. The main purpose of the volume is to pursue a combined historiographic, literary and rhetorical analysis of Dio’s work and of its political and intellectual agendas. Dio's work is often used as a handy resource, with scholars looking at isolated sections of his annalistic structure. Contrary to this approach, the volume puts emphasis on Cassius Dio and his Roman History in its historiographical setting, thus allowing us to link and understand the different parts of his work.
Book Synopsis An Age of Iron and Rust: Cassius Dio and the History of His Time by : Andrew G. Scott
Download or read book An Age of Iron and Rust: Cassius Dio and the History of His Time written by Andrew G. Scott and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-03-27 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cassius Dio described his own age as one of “iron and rust.” This study, which is the first of its kind in English, examines the decline and decay that Cassius Dio diagnosed in this period (180-229 CE) through an analysis of the author’s historiographic method and narrative construction. It shows that the final books were a crucial part of Dio’s work, and it explains how Dio approached a period that he considered unworthy of history in view of his larger historiographic project.
Book Synopsis Cassius Dio’s Forgotten History of Early Rome by : Christopher Burden-Strevens
Download or read book Cassius Dio’s Forgotten History of Early Rome written by Christopher Burden-Strevens and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a radical change of approach, Cassius Dio’s Forgotten History of Early Rome illuminates the least explored and understood part of Cassius Dio’s enormous Roman History: the first two decads, which span over half a millennium of history and constitute a quarter of Dio’s work. Combining literary and historiographical perspectives with source-criticism and textual analysis for the first time in the study of Dio’s early books, this collection of chapters demonstrates the integral place of ‘early Rome’ within the text as a whole and Dio’s distinctive approach to this semi-mythical period. By focussing on these hitherto neglected portions of the text, this volume seeks to further the ongoing reappraisal of one of Rome’s most significant but traditionally under-appreciated historians.
Book Synopsis The Eastern Roman Empire under the Severans by : Julia Hoffmann-Salz
Download or read book The Eastern Roman Empire under the Severans written by Julia Hoffmann-Salz and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2024-06-17 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year of the four emperors in AD 193 shows the cosmopolitan interconnectedness of the Roman Empire, yet scholarship has long framed the Severan dynasty in a narrative of descent stressing their North African and in particular their Syrian origins. The contributions of this volume question this conventional approach and instead examine more closely actual Severan policy in the Near East to detect potential local connections that determined this policy as well as how local communities and elites reacted to it. The volume thus explores new beginnings and old connections in the Roman Near East.

The study of ancient war deals with a myriad of different topics and deals with themes in all types of history: social, cultural, economic, religious, literary, numismatical, epigraphical, ethnographical, topographical, prosopographical, and mythical, as well as the usual political and military. The study of ancient war is a field that is growing in popularity and continues to surprise us with many innovative new ideas, as shown in this collection of papers by established academics and current graduate students.
Book Synopsis Cassius Dio and the Late Roman Republic by :
Download or read book Cassius Dio and the Late Roman Republic written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cassius Dio’s Roman History is an essential, yet still undervalued, source for modern historians of the late Roman Republic. The papers in this volume show how his account can be used to gain new perspectives on such topics as the memory of the conspirator Catiline, debates over leadership in Rome, and the nature of alliance formation in civil war. Contributors also establish Dio as fully in command of his narrative, shaping it to suit his own interests as a senator, a political theorist, and, above all, a historian. Sophisticated use of chronology, manipulation of annalistic form, and engagement with Thucydides are just some of the ways Dio engages with the rich tradition of Greco-Roman historiography to advance his own interpretations.

Book excerpt: This book investigates Dionysius of Halicarnassus' description of Rome's 'founders' and situates Dionysius' historical work in the cultural and political contexts of Augustan Rome.

Book Synopsis Cassius Dio the Historian by : Jesper Majbom Madsen
Download or read book Cassius Dio the Historian written by Jesper Majbom Madsen and published by Historiography of Rome and Its. This book was released on 2021 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume focuses on Cassius Dio as a historian - the only historian who allows us to follow the developments of Rome's political institutions during a more than thousand year period, from the foundation of the city to Cassius Dio's retirement from public life in 229 CE. The volume explores the Roman historian's methodology and agendas, all of which influenced his approaches to Rome's history. It offers a reassessment that rests on a deeper study of his relationship with historiographical traditions as well as his narrative and structural approach to Roman history. It examines Cassius Dio as both a writer in the historiographic tradition with his own agenda for writing The Roman History and a historian with his own ambition to tell the history of Rome. Contributors are: Valérie Fromentin, Mads O. Lindholmer, Christopher Baron, Konstantin V. Markov, Josip Parat, Christopher Burden-Strevens, Adam M. Kemezis, Andrew G. Scott, Jesper M. Madsen, Alex Imrie, Graham Andrews, Eric Adler, Carsten H. Lange, Antonio Pistellato, Jesper Carlsen, Brandon Jones, Julie Langford"--
Book Synopsis Deconstructing Imperial Representation: Tacitus, Cassius Dio, and Suetonius on Nero and Domitian by : Verena Schulz
Download or read book Deconstructing Imperial Representation: Tacitus, Cassius Dio, and Suetonius on Nero and Domitian written by Verena Schulz and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What literary strategies do Tacitus, Cassius Dio, and Suetonius apply in portraying Nero and Domitian? This book argues that the three authors respond to and deconstruct the positive accounts of imperial representation that were prevalent during the lifetimes of the two controversial emperors. They take up motifs from these earlier accounts, which they re-interpret to construct their own negative portraits. Although Tacitus, Cassius Dio, and Suetonius discuss the same historical figures and events of early imperial Rome, they are rarely examined together in one volume. Verena Schulz offers the first combined reading of their works from a philological viewpoint, analysing the various rhetorical techniques and narratological devices that they display, and the different literary and historical discourses in which they are embedded.
Book Synopsis Velleius Paterculus by : Eleanor Cowan
Download or read book Velleius Paterculus written by Eleanor Cowan and published by Classical Press of Wales. This book was released on 2010-12-31 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Velleius Paterculus' short work is the earliest surviving attempt on the part of a post-Augustan historian to survey the history of the res publica from its origins to his own times. In a period from which no other contemporary historical narrative survives in more than meagre fragments, Velleius' work is uniquely important. It is a critical counter to the later accounts of Tacitus, Suetonius and Cassius Dio, not simply because it offers a different view of Tiberius, but because Velleius saw continuity where later authors saw only radical change which destroyed the Republic and put monarchy in its place. For other reasons, too, Velleius occupies a unique position in Roman historiography. This collection of papers, by a distinguished cast of scholars, represents a wide-ranging re-examination of Velleius' work, of its place within, and contribution to, Roman historiography and the intellectual history of the early Principate.
