Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Roman History of Appian of Alexandria, Vol. 1 of 2
MY reasons for translating the works of Appian are that they constitute an indispensable part of Roman history, that they are not accessible in English, and that none of the persons more competent to perform the task have seen fit to undertake it. The last English translation, made in 1679, is not now obtainable, and would not be readable if obtainable.
