Augustus Caesar, the first emperor of Rome (27 BC-AD 14), brought peace and prosperity to his city after decades of savage civil war. This selection from Cassius Dio's Roman History gives the fullest description of that long struggle and ultimate triumph - detailing the brutal battles and political feuds that led to the collapse of Rome's 400-year-old republic, and Augustus' subsequent reign as emperor. Included are accounts of military campaigns from Ethiopia to Yugoslavia, and of long conflict with Antony and Cleopatra. With skill and artistry, Dio brings to life many speeches from the era - among them Augustus' damning indictment of Antony's passion for the Egyptian queen - and provides a fascinating account of the debate between the great general Agrippa and Maecenas on the virtues of republicanism and monarchy.

'That was how things stood in the city at the time. With no one in charge, murders were taking place almost every day and the elections could not be held.'Books 36-40 of the Roman History by Cassius Dio (born ca. 163 CE), covers 69-50 BCE, the last twenty years before the Roman Republic collapsed in a long series of civil wars, leading to the monarchy of the emperors. Although Dio's history was written over 250 years later, it provides the fullest surviving account of this crucial period in Roman history and is a key source of information on many of the chief developments. Dio fashions his account of these years to foreshadow the coming civil war, exposing the violence and corruption of the political life of the time, and portraying the gradual eclipse of the great general Pompey by his younger rival Caesar.Robin Waterfield's lively and up-to-date translation is accompanied by an introduction by John Rich, which sets Dio's work in its context and explores both literary and historical features of the text, and his portraits of major characters such as Pompey, Cicero, and Caesar. This edition also includes full explanatory notes, a glossary, and maps of Central Rome, Gaul, and the East.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

An historical narrative originally composed in Greek during the reigns of Septimius Severus, Geta and Caracalla, Macrinus, Elagabalus and Alexander Severus. According to Wikipedia: "Lucius Cassius Dio Cocceianus (c. AD 155 or 163/164[3] to after 229), known in English as Cassius Dio, Dio Cassius, or Dio (Dione. lib) was a Roman consul and a noted historian writing in Greek. Dio published a history of Rome in 80 volumes, beginning with the legendary arrival of Aeneas in Italy through the subsequent founding of Rome (753 BC), the formation of the Republic (509 BC), and the creation of the Empire (31 BC), up to 229 AD; a period of about 1,400 years. Of the 80 books, written over 22 years, many survive into the modern age intact or as fragments, providing modern scholars with a detailed perspective on Roman history."

Vollständige Ausgabe aller erhaltener Texte Cassius Dio Cocceianus aus Nikaia in Bythinien (um 163 - nach 229 n. Chr.) war Sohn eines Senators und selbst römischer Konsul und Senator. Diese Ämter prägten sein Bewusstsein und seine Haltung als Politiker und Autor. Als Statthalter wirkte er in Afrika, Pannonien und Obergermanien unter den Kaisern Septimius Severus und Severus Alexander. Sein Hauptwerk als Schriftsteller ist die Römische Geschichte, verfasst in griechischer Sprache und eingeteilt in 80 Bücher nach antiker Zählung. Das Werk reicht von der Gründung Roms bis in die Lebens- und Wirkungszeit des Autors selbst. Anfang und Ende sind nur in Fragmenten erhalten. Für einige Abschnitte der römischen Geschichte dazwischen stellt Cassius Dio allerdings die wichtigste, bisweilen sogar die einzige Quelle dar. Seine eigene Zeitgeschichte beschreibt Dio als Insider mit genauer Kenntnis aller Hintergründe, aber auch bei der Darstellung früherer Abschnitte ist sein Zugang zu Quellen ersten Ranges der Grund für die hohe Bedeutung seines Geschichtswerkes. Dass er in seine Erzählung öfter auch Gerüchte und Klatschgeschichten aufnahm, macht zwar stets eine kritische Prüfung seiner Ausführungen nötig, wirkte sich jedoch auf den Unterhaltungswert der Werke für Zeitgenossen wie für spätere Leser außerordentlich positiv aus.
