The Roman World of Dio Chrysostom

Dio Chrysostom emerges as a vibrant figure in the exploration of Greek civilization during the early Roman Empire. C.P. Jones provides a comprehensive portrait of Dio, delving into his life and contributions while also illuminating the cultural and social dynamics of cities like Alexandria, Tarsus, and Rhodes in the first centuries CE. This work not only highlights Dio's significance but also offers valuable insights into the historical context of the era.
