A superb, nuanced translation… It is not simply that McGing updates the translation to reflect contemporary idiom; he also breathes new life into Appian’s prose on almost every page… This exceptionally well executed Loeb is a welcome resource that will be deeply appreciated by all those interested in Appian and his remarkable Roman History as well as expand his appeal to a new generation of readers-- Alain M. Gowing * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
Brian McGing is Regius Professor of Greek, Emeritus, at Trinity College Dublin.
