	Dio Cassius - LoveToKnow 1911
		His father was Cassius Apronianus, governor of Dalmatia and Cilicia under Marcus Aurelius, and on his mother's side he was the grandson of Dio Chrysostom, who had assumed the surname of Cocceianus in honour of his patron the emperor Cocceius Nerva.
		During the reign of Commodus, Dio practised as an advocate at the Roman bar, and held the offices of aedile and quaestor.
		Dio's work is a most important authority for the history of the last years of the republic and the early empire.

	DE VALSE ANTONINUS - Heliogabalus
		Zijn moeder zou namelijk zo promiscue zijn geweest dat hij, in weerwil van elke biologische waarschijnlijkheid, uit ‘gevarieerd zaad’, dat wil zeggen het zaad van verscheidene mannen, was ontstaan.
		Cassius Dio, die wist wie Heliogabalus’ werkelijke vader was, noemt hem in zijn geschiedwerk keer op keer spottend de ‘Valse Antoninus’.
		Dio’s spotnaam ‘Valse Antoninus’ is een antwoord op deze keizerlijke zelfverheerlijking, waarmee de geschiedschrijver aangeeft niets te geloven van de dynastieke claim waarmee Heliogabalus de steun van de soldaten verwierf.

		Dio Cassius (full name: Cassius Dio Cocceianus) was born in Nicaea, Bithynia (a Roman province in modern day Turkey), probably around AD155.
		Dio Cassius appears to have remained in the East during, at least part of, the rule of Elagabalus (218-222), although, at some stage, he had been consul, and, under Alexander Severus (222-235), he became proconsul in Africa.
		Dio Cassius had felt it necessary to be a firm disciplinarian with his troops in Pannonia, and, as a result, the Praetorian Guard were unhappy about his appointment.

		Dio Cassius is believed to have lived from 164 C.E. until after 229 C.E. In other words he was not even conceived until a hundred years after Boudicca and the revolt.
		Dio Cassius' account of Boudicca in volume eight of his history of Rome is not merely a regurgitation of Tacitus however; it has notable differences and added details not found in Tacitus.
		Dio Cassius records several lengthy speeches, and in fact the bulk of his account is made up of such.

		The historian Dio Cassius wrote a famous biography of Hadrian that used ever means to down play and criticize the works of Hadrian.
		The author was unsure whether to love or depise the Emperor, his words are full of sour praise and of course his short passage on Antinous is over-flowing with sarcasm.
		Dio Cassius is also the source of the conspiracy theory that Antinous was a victim of human sacrifice to prolong the life of Hadrian.

	Rome Under Better Emperors 96-180 by Sanderson Beck
		In 82 Dio was banished by Domitian from Rome, Italy, and Bithynia for advising a conspiring relative of the Emperor.
		Dio believed that guardian spirits are good and that the wise are fortunate and happy because they are guided by them; but the unhappy are so, not because their guardian spirit is bad, but because they neglect the good spirit.
		Dio is like the physician who touches the sore spot; he makes it smart, but his medicine is mild considering the seriousness of their case.

	Harvard University Press: Roman History, II : Fragments of Books 12-35 and of Uncertain Reference by Dio Cassius
		Of the eighty books of Dio's great work Roman History, covering the era from the legendary landing of Aeneas in Italy to the reign of Alexander Severus (222–235 CE), we possess Books 36–60 (36 and 55–60 have gaps), which cover the years 68 BCE–47 CE.
		The missing portions are partly supplied, for the earlier gaps by Zonaras, who relies closely on Dio, and for some later gaps (Book 35 onwards) by John Xiphilinus (of the eleventh century).
		The facilities for research afforded by Dio's official duties and his own industry make him a very vital source for Roman history of the last years of the republic and the first four emperors.

		Descriptions of portents and the inclusion of set speeches are prominent in the work.
		Dio is further removed in time than the other ancient sources for this period and anachronisms are frequently present in his work.
		Most of his evidence for the Julio-Claudian dynasty survives only in epitomized (summarized) form - which in places sounds suspiciously like Tacitus.
