	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Appian
		Appian of Alexandria wrote an autobiography, but it is almost completely lost, and consequently we hardly know anything about the historian from Alexandria.
		As Appian was still in Egypt by the end of the reign of Trajan, he must have moved to Rome at a later date, and the emperors whom he claims to have addressed must therefore have been either Hadrian and Antoninus Pius or Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius.
		Moreover, Appian is not faced with the problem that historians who strictly adhered to the chronological sequence of events had to cope with: if an enemy of Rome has a specific custom, they had to explain it twice or leave it unexplained.

	Ancient Greek literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The significant historians in the period after Alexander were Timaeus, Polybius, Diodorus Siculus, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Appian of Alexandria, Arrian, and Plutarch.
		Appian wrote on Rome and its conquests, while Arrian is remembered for his work on the campaigns of Alexander the Great.
		Eratosthenes of Alexandria, who died about 194 BC, wrote on astronomy and geography, but his work is known mainly from later summaries.

		The 30 km/19 mi from the Forum Appii across the Pontine marshes was improved by the emperors Nerva and Trajan; by Theodoric, king of the Visigoths; and also by Pope Pius VI, who built a new Via Appia from Rome to Albano.
		The Appian Way is here yet, and looking much as it did, perhaps, when the triumphal processions of the Emperors moved over it in other days bringing fettered princes from the confines of the earth.

		Appian informs us that this was the Vesuvius, and that the gladiators elected three leaders: Spartacus, Oenomaus and Crixus.
		According to Appian, Spartacus now commanded some 70,000 people, and although we do not know how he obtained this figure, we can be sure that the wealthy land-owners in the Senate understood that their slaves could also run away.
		In the aftermath the consuls retreated in confusion, while Spartacus, first sacrificing 300 Roman prisoners to Crixus, made for Rome with 120,000 foot soldiers after burning the useless equipment and putting all the prisoners to death and slaughtering the draught animals to free himself of all encumbrances.

	Appian of Alexandria
		This must have happened after c.120, because Appian states in one of his surviving fragments that he managed to escape from a band of Jewish looters who pursued him in the marshes of the Nile (more).
		The most remarkable aspect of this work, as Appian announces in his Preface, is its division.
		Although this organization is sometimes confusing (e.g., when Appian ignores Caesar's creation of a power base in Gaul in his account of the civil war against Pompey), the advantage of his system clearly outweighs these minor irritations.

	Greek historians
		Like Arrian of Nicomedia and Appian of Alexandria, Cassius Dio (164-c.235) was a Greek by birth and a Roman by conviction, and one of the great historians of Antiquity.
		He became a senator during the reign of Commodus, was made consul by Septimius Severus (204), served as governor in Africa and Pannonia Superior, and had the rare distinction of being made consul for a second time, together with the emperor Severus Alexander (229).
		As a historian, Herodian is not the equal of Arrian of Nicomedia, Appian of Alexandria, and Cassius Dio, but he certainly is an entertaining author, whose Roman History offers a nice account of the years 180-238, which more or less coincide with Herodian's life time.

		In the milieu of the diaspora, the 'Macedonian times', as the Hellenistic age could be described in Greek authors of Roman date, might be predicted to evoke warmer memories than in, say, Plutarch's Boeotia or the Athens of Herodes.
		But the hellenophone world was a huge space, culturally and historically variegated, and it embraced hellenized regions to the east where historically and culturally other allegiances may have competed for recognition as constitutents of 'Greekness'.
		But the complexity on the ground, so to speak, of what it is often singularly described as Greek identity needs more notice than it tends usually to receive, as does the hand of Rome.
