Gabba places Dionysius's remarkable thesis in its cultural context, comparing this author with other ancient historians and evaluating Dionysius's treatment of his sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn truth, the last decades B.C. made the historian's task an enormous challenge. On the one hand, the ancient writers knew Rome to be the greatest empire the world had seen, seemingly impregnable in military power and still capable of expansion. On the other hand, they were acutely aware that it recently had barely survived half a century of civil strife.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGabba recalls to us how little was confidently known of Rome's actual origins in an illuminating examination of Dionysius's methodology as a historian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emilio Gabba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520073029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520073029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.38w x 1.00d","brand":"Emilio Gabba","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44616347123967,"sku":"9780520073029","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f16ec16-5a64-4caf-ad7c-26f276269ccd.jpg?v=1703019844","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dionysius-and-the-history-of-emilio-gabba-9780520073029","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
