Redige par l'un des meilleurs specialistes actuels, cet ouvrage au style alerte presente la vie d'un historien majeur de la Rome antique et l'originalite de son oeuvre. Dion Cassius, un aristocrate originaire d'Asie mineure devint a Rome haut fonctionnaire et conseiller d'un des empereurs de la dynastie des Severes, au debut du IIIe siecle ap. J.-C., puis rentra dans sa patrie pour y rediger, en grec, une monumentale histoire de Rome, des origines a son propre temps. Des quatre-vingts livres qui la composaient, seule une partie est conservee integralement, mais les fragments qui nous sont parvenus suffisent pour evaluer l'ampleur et l'interet de son projet. Car ce n'est pas seulement un deroule de l'histoire de Rome qu'il propose, mais une analyse ambitieuse des grandes phases de son histoire, envisagee sous l'angle des institutions, en decrivant ses regimes politiques successifs et le comportement de ses dirigeants. Son Histoire romaine est un ouvrage sous-tendu de bout en bout par un fil conducteur explicite: l'idee que seule une monarchie, exercee avec moderation, est a meme de maintenir la paix interieure et la domination mondiale de Rome. Cette coherence de la pensee de Dion, accompagnee de la precision des informations qu'il donne et de l'agrement de la forme, en font un historien precieux qu'il est temps de mieux connaitre.
