Trade Review‘This volume adds much to the study of Roman history. Students, scholars, and interested persons will find this updated version of an important ancient author interesting and helpful.’
Classical World‘Rich brings to bear two admirable qualities: serious attention to Dio as a thinker in his own right and a broad familiarity with the history and scholarship of the Augustan period... a useful guide to at least a part of the best extant history of the regime we possess.’
