Brill's companion to Cassius Dio / edited by Jesper Majbom Madsen, Andrew G. Scott.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"This Companion is the first of its kind on the Roman historian Cassius Dio. It introduces the reader to the life and work of one of the most fundamental but previously neglected historians in the Roman historical canon. Together the eighteen chapters focus on Cassius Dio's background as Graeco-Roman intellectual from Bithynia who worked his way up the political hierarchy in Rome and analyses his Roman History as the product of a politically engaged historian who carefully ties Rome's constitutional situation together with the city's history"-- Provided by publisher.
