Cassius Dio was a Roman historian born in the mid 2nd century and who wrote 80 books on the history of Rome covering almost 1000 years from its inception until 229 A.D. While much of his writing is lost, sizeable portions of his works survive in whole or in fragments and are invaluable to piece together an important part of Roman history.
