Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dio's Roman History, Vol. 1 of 9
Cassws dio cocceianus was a near relative, perhaps a grandson, Of the famous orator, Dio Chrysostom, after whom he took the names Dio and Cocceianus, and like him was a native Of Bithynia. His father was Cassius Apronianus, a Roman senator, who served as governor of Cilicia and of Dalmatia.1 It is now established2 that the correct order of Dio's names, if we follow the normal Roman usage, is that just given, his pmenomen being unknown. The common Greek order, however, was At'wv 6 Koicrmos, and this order has become so thoroughly familiar to English readers that it bids fair to remain the popular usage.
