Promotional Details
"Speeches are part of the historical narrative; they can add information which the author may not be inclined to share in his own voice; and they can reveal more of the author’s evaluation of his characters and the historical events he is narrating. Therefore, it behoves us to grant the speeches particular thought and analysis. This is the main objective which this book intends to achieve and it does so successfully."
- Ayelet Peer, Bar-Ilan University, in Histos 15 (2021).
"Burden-Strevens has written an indispensable study of Cassius Dio’s Roman History, which should be read carefully by any scholar of Dio, and, I would say, anyone investigating the Greek historiography of the Empire writ large." Leanne Jansen, BMCR 2021.12.22
