Dio's Roman History, Volume 1, offers a comprehensive account of Roman history from its legendary origins to the late Republic.

This edition, translated by Earnest Cary and Herbert Baldwin Foster, makes Dio's monumental history accessible to a modern audience.

His detailed accounts and critical analysis offer a unique perspective on the forces driving the Roman Republic towards its transformation into an empire.
