D. 217. to the reign of Severus Alexander and Cassius Dios retirement from political life in 229. Cassius Dio, a Roman Senator, provides a valuable eyewitness account of this turbulent period, which was marked by the assassination of Caracalla, the rise of Macrinus, Romes first equestrian emperor, and his subsequent overthrow, the tempestuous, and by all accounts peculiar, reign of Elagabalus, and the continuation of the Severan dynasty under the young Severus Alexander. In addition to elucidating important passages from these books, this study assesses Cassius Dios political life and its relationship to his literary career; his call to history and time of composition; his historical method; and his attitude toward and subsequent presentation of the later Severan dynasty. In its investigation of books 79(78)-80(80), the work assesses an important stretch of Dios actual text, which for other parts has been preserved largely in epitome and excerpts. Finally, the work aims to fill a gap in scholarship, as no commentary on these books of Cassius Dios history has been produced since the nineteenth century, and its publication coincides with a renewed interest in the history and historiography of the Severan period.</p>...4185041Emperors and Usurpers16461829https://www.gandhi.com.mx/emperors-and-usurpers-9780190879617/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3033059/88cf6b98-adfc-454f-b23a-6ec54fe3a8a8.jpg?v=638384787699730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20189780190879617_W3siaWQiOiJiNTQ1OWY0Ny01Mjk3LTQ3MDEtOGFkNi00YzZhNWQ4YTI4YjciLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjE4MjksImRpc2NvdW50IjoxODMsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6MTY0NiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMjJUMTI6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780190879617_<p>This historical commentary examines books 79(78)-80(80) of Cassius Dios <em>Roman History</em>, which cover the period from the death of Caracalla in A.
