Abstract

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

Abstract

Rédigé par l'un des meilleurs spécialistes actuels, cet ouvrage au style alerte présente la vie d'un historien majeur de la Rome antique et l'originalité de son oeuvre. Dion Cassius, un aristocrate originaire d'Asie mineure devint à Rome haut fonctionnaire et conseiller d'un des empereurs de la dynastie des Sévères, au début du IIIe siècle ap. J.-C., puis rentra dans sa patrie pour y rédiger, en grec, une monumentale histoire de Rome, des origines à son propre temps. Des quatre-vingts livres qui la composaient, seule une partie est conservée intégralement, mais les fragments qui nous sont parvenus suffisent pour évaluer l'ampleur et l'intérêt de son projet. Car ce n'est pas seulement un déroulé de l'histoire de Rome qu'il propose, mais une analyse ambitieuse des grandes phases de son histoire, envisagée sous l'angle des institutions, en décrivant ses régimes politiques successifs et le comportement de ses dirigeants. Son Histoire romaine est un ouvrage sous-tendu de bout en bout par un fil conducteur explicite : l'idée que seule une monarchie, exercée avec modération, est à même de maintenir la paix intérieure et la domination mondiale de Rome. Cette cohérence de la pensée de Dion, accompagnée de la précision des informations qu'il donne et de l'agrément de la forme, en font un historien précieux qu'il est temps de mieux connaître.

Abstract

L’Histoire romaine écrite en grec par Cassius Dion (c. 160-235 p.C.), qui compte quatre-vingts livres et couvre dix siècles, est une source d’importance capitale pour les spécialistes du monde gréco-romain. Elle demeure toutefois mal connue et incomplètement étudiée car les aléas de la transmission du texte, parvenu à nous en partie sous forme fragmentaire, ont longtemps freiné la réalisation d'enquêtes transversales menées à l'échelle de l'œuvre entière.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.
