Indexes
John Richardson was appointed to the first chair of Classics at the University of Edinburgh in 1987, which he held until he retired in 2002; he has held an honorary professorship at the University of Durham since 2003. He is a leading authority on Roman Spain, and his many books and articles include ‘The Romans in Spain’ (Blackwell), and ‘The Language of Empire: Rome and the Idea of Empire from the Third Century BC to the Second Century AD’ (Cambridge University Press).
'Richardson has produced an edition which should indeed add impetus
to the welcome upsurge of interest in this intriguing period and a
writer who, as Richardson puts it, "has more to be said for him
than has always been acknowledged". [It] throws a welcome light
upon Appian's recurring themes and concerns as a
historiographer.'
