Appian of Alexandria

Appian of Alexandria (c. 95 - c. 165 CE) was a Greek historian of the Roman Empire who, after a public career, settled in Rome. He wrote a "Roman History" organized region by region, describing how Rome conquered each people in turn. His most important surviving books cover the Roman civil wars of the late Republic, and they are a key source for that turbulent era, including the rise of figures like Marius, Sulla, and Caesar.
