Appian; Horace White, ed. - Appian's Roman HistoryCambridge, Massachusetts / London, England, Harvard University Press / William Heinemann, . Reprint Edition. Hardcover. Size: 12mo 7" - 7. Appian (Appianus) was a Greek official of Alexandria, Egypt, and who directly observed the Jewish rebellion of A.D. 116. He later became a Roman citizen and was knighted for his efforts and became a keen observer of and loyal to various Roman Emperors and other officials. He died during the reign of Antoninus Pius (Emperor, A.D. 138-161) (publisher's blurb). Though his entire oeuvre is unavailable currently, many books having been lost, his works devoted to Roman political and military history are quite well developed here in the Loeb Classical Library stable. Sharp little set of the four volumes, complete, that comprise Appian's history of Ancient Rome. Bilingual in English, with Greek language, facing, and paginated consecutively. Bound handsomely and simply in a creamy green cloth over boards, sharp and distinct lettering to spine and with the publisher's "LCL" logo stamped sharply onto front covers. Bright and shiny printed dust jackets, illustrated, little worn but three jackets are price-clipped, a bit of rubbing here and there, else quite attractive, two lightly sunned. From the personal library of the noted English historian of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, Professor Peter Morris Green, now of Iowa City, Iowa, 99 years old, nearly blind, but still working, in this case on a new translation and with annotations, of Herodotus, his favorite historian.
