Roman history
Book • 1912
Appian's 'Roman History' is a comprehensive historical work that covers various peoples and countries from the earliest times until their incorporation into the Roman Empire.
The surviving books include detailed accounts of the Spanish, Hannibalic, Punic, Illyrian, Syrian, and Mithridatic wars, as well as the Roman civil wars.
The work is valuable for its ethnographic structure and its preservation of earlier historical sources, despite some criticisms of accuracy and creative use of sources.
