Histos
This essay seeks to explore Ovid’s usefulness to Syme, and the narrative strategies
of History in Ovid. In doing so, it investigates the structure of the monograph, and
finds it more coherent than some have supposed. Likewise, I argue that it shows Syme
aware of his readership’s familiarity with his own habit of electing spiritual precursors
amongst the authors of antiquity—and exploiting that habit to make points about the
texture of history in the last decade of Augustus’ reign.

A Companion to Cassius Dio
The three principal surviving Imperial Greek historians of Rome – Appian, Herodian, and Cassius Dio, look, at first blush, quite similar in their procedures. Comparison of Dio to the other two, and to what we know about Greco-Roman historiography, extant and attested, confirms that what he is doing is quite unusual. Investigation of how Dio himself views other historians – above all, two distinctive, but flawed, Republican figures, Cicero and Sallust – gives us a sharper sense of what Dio himself sees as important in historiography, and how he himself wishes to be seen.
