APPIAN (Gr. 'Aairtavbs)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 222 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
APPIAN (Gr. 'Aairtavbs) , of Alexandria, Roman historian, flourished during the reigns of Trajan, Hadrian and Antoninus Pius. He tells us that, after having filled the
chief
  offices in his native place, he repaired to Rome, where he practised as an advocate. When advanced in years, he obtained, by the good offices of his friend Fronto, the dignity of imperial procuratorit is supposed in Egypt. His
work
  (`Pw,uatKh) in twenty-four books, written in Greek, is rather a number of monographs than a connected history. It gives an account of various peoples and countries from the earliest times down to their incorporation
into the Roman empire. Besides a preface, there are extant eleven complete books and considerable fragments. In spite of its unattractive style, the
work
  is very valuable, especially for the period of the civil wars.
