I frammenti dei libri XXI-XXX di Cassio Dione sono trasmessi per lo più dagli Excerpta Constantiniana, l’antologia della storiografi a antica in lingua greca realizzata nel X secolo per volontà dell’imperatore bizantino Costantino VII. Essi comprendono il periodo tra la terza guerra punica e la guerra sociale (149-89 a.C.) e forniscono numerose notizie altrimenti ignote, per la perdita delle fonti parallele (in particolare di Livio), o varianti signifi cative, perché Dione fa ampio ricorso a fonti pre-liviane. Ne emerge un quadro coerente, in cui la progressiva corruzione delle istituzioni tradizionali accompagna e determina il prevalere della taraché sul kósmos. Questo «rovesciamento dell’ordine» non si manifesta solo nell’ambito politico, ma anche in quello giudiziario, militare e religioso: esso segna la crisi della repubblica e l’inizio della sua disgregazione. Già all’opera col tribunato di Tiberio Gracco, è in seguito alimentato dai capifazione «sovversivi», tra cui emerge soprattutto Gaio Mario. Il vincitore della guerra giugurtina e della guerra cimbrica è qui rappresentato con un’ostilità e una vivacità espressiva che non hanno eguali nel resto della tradizione antica e che sembrano rifl ettere polemiche contemporanee.

"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"--
