 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.
Before writing his history of Rome ('Pco,uacKa or `PcoyacKI `Iaropta), Dio Cassius had dedicated to the emperor Severus an account of various dreams and prodigies which had presaged his elevation to the throne (perhaps the Ev6Sia attributed to Dio by Suidas), and had also written a biography of his fellow-countryman Arrian.
Dio's work is a most important authority for the history of the last years of the republic and the early empire.

Dio non e neppure lontano dagli altri che cercano il Dio ignoto nelle ombre e sotto le immagini, poiché egli dà a tutti la vita e il respiro e ogni cosa (cfr At 1,7,25-26), e come Salvatore vuole che tutti gli uomini si salvino (cfr.
Ivi sono da Dio chiamati a contribuire, quasi dall'interno a modo di fermento, alla santificazione del mondo esercitando il proprio ufficio sotto la guida dello spirito evangelico, e in questo modo a manifestare Cristo agli altri principalmente con la testimonianza della loro stessa vita e col fulgore della loro fede, della loro speranza e carità.

 Dio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Ronnie James Dio is a pretty old guy who's been kicking around hard rock history long enough now to have achieved some kind of "legend" status.
Magica is a Dio concept album, and if the mere mention of that doesn't already have you rolling in the aisles, then you're probably a vegetable by the name of Muhammad Ali.
You know, I gotta respect Dio for having the guts to hang in there for so long now and stubbornly continue to create more and more albums that are completely derivative of everything he's done before despite how obvious it is to anyone with a mild intellect that his songwriting has zero range.

 Cassius Dio & Ulpian
Dio states that Epagathus, who was believed to be the chief conspirator, was assigned the prefecture of Egypt in order to isolate him from his supporters in Rome and was later taken from Egypt to Crete and executed.
On the contrary, Modrzejewski and Zawadzki suggest that Dio is comparing his own situation, on the eve of his second consulship, to that of Ulpian, on the eve of his tragic death.
Writing in the eleventh century, he was not aware of the absurdity of the possibility of Dio’s appointment to the praetorian prefecture and his revised passage did not seem unreasonable to him.

The album was a serious endevor, but Dio also learned to make fun of his image after years of defending it, inviting comedy duo Tenacious D to star in the video for "Push" and even including the clip on the fall re-release of Killing the Dragon.
