This is an historical commentary on Books 55-56 of Dio's Roman History. These books recount the last half of the reign of the Emperor Augustus, above all his orchestration of the first imperial succession. Addressed to both students and scholars, the new commentary is the first since the eighteenth century to offer full and fresh treatment of this segment of Dio's work.
An excellent historical commentary... which will be of great help to all students and scholars who study the last twenty years of Augustus' reign. * Lukas de Blois, Gnomon *
