Introduction / The Text -- La fiabilité de Zonaras dans les deux premières décades de l’Histoire romaine de Cassius Dion : le cas des discours / Cassio Dione e le fonti pre-liviane : una versione alternativa dei primi secoli di Roma / The Regal Period in the Excerpta Constantiniana and in Some Early Byzantine Extracts From Dio’s Roman History / Military and Political History -- From Nobles to Villains: The Story of the Republican Senate in Cassius Dio’s Roman History / The “Great Men” of the Middle Republic in Cassius Dio’s Roman History / Cassius Dio on Violence, Stasis, and Civil War: The Early Years / Breaking the Idealistic Paradigm: Competition in Dio’s Earlier Republic / Early Rome and Dio’s Project -- Speech in Cassius Dio’s Roman History, Books 1–35 / Cultural Interactions and Identities in Cassius Dio’s Early Books / Defining the Good Ruler: Early Kings as Proto-Imperial Figures in Cassius Dio / Christopher Burden-Strevens -- Valérie Fromentin -- Gianpaolo Urso -- C.T. Mallan -- Jesper Majbom Madsen -- Marianne Coudry -- Carsten Hjort Lange -- Mads Lindholmer -- John Rich -- Brandon Jones -- Verena Schulz.
In a radical change of approach, Cassius Dio’s Forgotten History of Early Rome illuminates the least explored and understood part of Cassius Dio’s enormous Roman History : the first two decads, which span over half a millennium of history and constitute a quarter of Dio’s work. Combining literary and historiographical perspectives with source-criticism and textual analysis for the first time in the study of Dio’s early books, this collection of chapters demonstrates the integral place of ‘early Rome’ within the text as a whole and Dio’s distinctive approach to this semi-mythical period. By focussing on these hitherto neglected portions of the text, this volume seeks to further the ongoing reappraisal of one of Rome’s most significant but traditionally under-appreciated historians.
