"Cassius Dio's Roman History is an essential, yet still undervalued, source for modern historians of the late Roman Republic. The papers in this volume show how his account can be used to gain new perspectives on such topics as the memory of the conspirator Catiline, debates over leadership in Rome, and the nature of alliance formation in civil war. Contributors also establish Dio as fully in command of his narrative, shaping it to suit his own interests as a senator, a political theorist, and, above all, a historian. Sophisticated use of chronology, manipulation of annalistic form, and engagement with Thucydides are just some of the ways Dio engages with the rich tradition of Greco-Roman historiography to advance his own interpretations. Contributors are: Christopher Baron, Estelle Bertrand, Christopher Burden-Strevens, Jesper Carlsen, Marianne Coudry, Carsten Hjort Lange, Mads Ortving Lindholmer, Jesper Majbom Madsen, Konstantin V. Markov, Josiah Osgood, Andrew G. Scott, Gianpaolo Urso, Kathryn Welch"--

"Cassius Dio: The Impact of Violence, War, and Civil War is part of a renewed interest in the Roman historian Cassius Dio. This volume focuses on Dio's approaches to foreign war and stasis as well as civil war. The impact of war on Rome as well as on the history of Rome has long be recognised by scholars, and adding to that, recent years have seen an increasing interest in the impact of civil war on Roman society. Dio's views on violence, war, and civil war are an inter-related part of his overall project, which sought to understand Roman history on its own historical and historiographical terms and within a long-range view of the Roman past that investigated the realities of power. Contributors are: Carsten H. Lange; Andrew G. Scott; Piotr Berdowski; Joel Allen; John Rich; Mads O. Lindholmer; Estelle Bertrand; Wolfgang Havener; Alex Imrie; Ayelet Peer; Konstantin V.

"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"--

Die Romaika Cassius Dios dienten bisher eher als Steinbruch zu Rekonstruktion verlorener Quellen und der Ereignisgeschichte. Diese Arbeit verknüpft die traditionelle "Quellenforschung" der Romaika des severischen Senators mit der Suche nach seiner Sicht der Römischen Republik, indem sie, angeleitet durch die Rezeptionsforschung und Cassius Dio selbst, die Kriterien seiner Quellenverarbeitung untersuchte: Ausgehend von Cassius Dios eigenen Schwerpunkten und denen der Forschung wurden seine Kommentare zu wichtigen Magistraturen betrachtet, seine "Analyse" der "Ständekämpfe", seine Einschätzung der Epochenjahre 218, 189 und 146 v. Chr. und seine Charakterisierungen Hannibals, der Africani und des Viriathus: Cassius Dio fügte in eine fortlaufende Erzählung, die er auch von den Annalisten Licinius Macer und Valerius Antias und der Monographie des Coelius Antipater bezog, Analysen, Urteile und Exempla insbesondere von Ulpian und Poseidonios ein. Das Ziel seiner Quellenverarbeitung bestand darin, im Sinne des Poseidonios das stoisch geprägte Ideal einer harmonischen Gemeinschaft, in der jeder (Führer) zum Wohle aller diente. Mit diesem Ideal hoffte Cassius Dio, seinen Zeitgenossen einen Weg aus der von ihm wahrgenommenen Krise des Reiches weisen zu können.
