Description

Roman History by Appian and Appianus of Alexandria This comprehensive history of the Roman Republic spans from its early days to the 2nd century BC, offering a unique perspective on the rise of the Roman Empire. Written in a distinctive style that balances objectivity with insight into Rome's triumphs and shortcomings. The work is divided into individual books, each tracing the story of a nation's wars with Rome up to its own civil wars. The surviving 24 books provide a detailed account of the Spanish, Hannibalic, African, Illyrian, Syrian, and Mithridatic wars, as well as five books on the civil wars. This edition of Roman History features additional fragments and Appian's letter to Fronto, providing a more complete understanding of this important historical work.
