Dio Chrysostomus (c. 40-c. 120 CE) was a rhetorician hostile to philosophers, whose Discourses (or Orations) reflect political or moral concerns. What survives of his works make him prominent in the revival of Greek literature in the late first and early second century CE. Dio Cocceianus Chrysostomus, ca. 40-ca. 120 CE, of Prusa in Bithynia, Asia Minor, inherited with his brothers large properties and debts from his generous father Pasicrates. He became a skilled rhetorician hostile to philosophers. But in the course of his travels he went to Rome in Vespasian's reign (69-79) and was converted to Stoicism. Strongly critical of the emperor Domitian (81-96) he was about 82 banned by him from Italy and Bithynia and wandered in poverty, especially in lands north of the Aegean, as far as the Danube and the primitive Getae. In 97 he spoke publicly to Greeks assembled at Olympia, was welcomed at Rome by emperor Nerva (96-98), and returned to Prusa. Arriving again at Rome on an embassy of thanks about 98-99 he became a firm friend of emperor Trajan. In 102 he travelled to Alexandria and elsewhere. Involved in a lawsuit about plans to beautify Prusa at his own expense, he stated his case before the governor of Bithynia, Pliny the Younger, 111-112. The rest of his life is unknown. Nearly all of Dio's extant Discourses (or Orations) reflect political concerns (the most important of them dealing with affairs in Bithynia and affording valuable details about conditions in Asia Minor) or moral questions (mostly written in later life; they contain much of his best writing). Some philosophical and historical works, including one on the Getae, are lost. What survives of his achievement as a whole makes him prominent in the revival of Greek literature in the last part of the first century and the first part of the second. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Dio Chrysostom is in five volumes.

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.
