- Cassius Dio’s Speeches and the Collapse of the Roman Republic is a 150,000-word monograph issuing from a Ph.D. and three subsequent years of collaboration with international research networks. It is the first modern monograph devoted specifically to speeches in Dio’s Roman History: their sources, function, and relationship to the Roman historiographical tradition. This innovative study radically re-evaluates one of the most controversial aspects of Dio’s Roman History—a massive work in Greek covering Roman history from its origins to the third century AD. The primary evidence is rich, but challenging: fragmentary portions of the text require laborious source-criticism and interpretation.
