| description | <p>This thesis is a historical and historiographical commentary on Book 57 (Chs. 1-17.8) of Cassius Dio's <em>Roman History</em>. It comprises two sections, an Introduction followed by the Commentary itself. The introduction is sub-divided into three chapters. The first of these introductory chapters (<em>The Roman Historian at Work</em>) presents a discussion of the historical material available for Dio's Tiberian narrative, and a discussion of the factors which were instrumental in Dio's writing and shaping his narrative of the reign of Tiberius. The second chapter (<em>Dio on Tiberius</em>) is an analysis of Dio's portrayal of Tiberius and of the historian’s understanding of Tiberius in the historical context of the early Principate. These chapters are followed by some brief <em>Notes on the Text of Book 57</em>, which considers the manuscript tradition of Book 57, and comments on portrayal of the reign of Tiberius in the Dionian tradition, and in particular the <em>Excerpta Constantiniana</em>, Xiphilinus, and Zonaras. The second part of the thesis, the commentary, presents an analysis of Dio's narrative from both historical and historiographical perspectives.</p> |
