THE INFLUENCE OF THE LITERARY TRADITION AND OF THE REALITIES OF THE PRINCIPATE ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL DEBATE IN CASSIUS DIO’S ROMAN HISTORY LII 1-40

Abstracts

EN

An analysis of the way in which the terms pertaining to the Principate are used in books XLIV-LVI of Cassius Dio’s work, and especially in book LII, containing the debate between Agrippa and Maecenas on the future constitution of Rome, leads to the conclusion that the scholars who claim that Cassius Dio describes the Principate from the Greek political perspective are wrong: though he uses Greek terms, they are substitutes for Latin ones, used in Roman political life of the period.
