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.

Die 80 B cher der R mischen Geschichte reichen vom Mythos der Stadtgr ndung durch Aeneas bis ins Jahr 229 n. Chr. Als hoher Staatsbeamter konnte Cassius Dio bei der Abfassung seines Werkes neben den 28 ffentlichen Bibliotheken Roms auch die Archive des Senats und des Kaiserhauses nutzen. Im Senat erlebte er die politischen und historischen Ereignisse der Jahrzehnte von Kaiser Commodus (180 bis 192) bis Alexander Severus (222 bis 235) aus n chster N he mit. Vor allem die Darstellung der Kaiserzeit ist in den Berichten von Cassius Dio von unsch tzbarem Wert, da er sozusagen als Zeitzeuge erz hlt.
