Opis

Dio Chrysostom is a major representative of the flourishing world of the Greeks under Rome. He offers an impressive range of high-quality writing, social comment, and appraisal of Rome's Empire at its height. This volume presents eleven new assessments by an international team of experts who for the first time study Dio's politics alongside his philosophy and writing.
