Synopsis

APPIAN (Appianus) was a Greek official of Alexandria. He saw the Jewish rebellion of AD 116, and later became a Roman citizen and advocate and received the rank of eques (knight). In his older years he held a procuratorship. He died during the reign of Antoninus Pius who was emperor AD 138-161. Honest admirer of the Roman empire though ignorant of the institutions of the earlier Roman republic, he wrote, in the simple common dialect, 24 books of Roman affairs , in fact conquests, from the beginnings to the tunes of Trajan (emperor AD 98-117). Eleven have come down to us complete, or nearly so, namely those on the Spanish, Hannibalic, Punic, Illyrian, Syrian, and Mithridatic wars, and five books on the Civil Wars. They are valuable records of military history.

Honest admirer of the Roman empire though ignorant of the institutions of the earlier Roman republic, he wrote, in the simple ‘common’ dialect, 24 books of ‘Roman affairs’, in fact conquests, from the beginnings to the tunes of Trajan (emperor AD 98-117).
