Episode LXXX - Dio Cassius
Manage episode 201873681 series 2149383
For much of our journey through the Antonine dynasty we’ve had Dio Cassius as our guide. As both a historian and a senator, Dio had a ringside seat to some of the greatest Emperors the Roman empire had seen. He wrote an extensive and what is considered reliable history of the Roman empire, spanning 80 volumes, many of which we have today.
Guest: Dr Rhiannon Evans (Senior Lecturer, Classics and Ancient History, La Trobe University).
