This book includes complete essays by Dionysius Plutarch and Lucian as well as shorter pieces by Pliny the Younger Cicero and others and will be an essential resource for anyone studying history and the ancient world. an excellent tool for the study of ancient historiography at all levels and it is bound to become a standard point of reference in the future Bryn Mawr Classical Review
