Produced by Ted Garvin, Jayam Subramanian and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Dio's Rome, Volume 3" by Cassius Dio Cocceianus is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century, specifically around the 1900s. This volume is part of a larger narrative originally composed in Greek and covers significant events in Roman history, particularly focusing on the time surrounding the civil conflicts post-Caesar's assassination, detailing the actions and conflicts involving key figures like Gaius Octavius (Augustus), Marc Antony, and other prominent leaders of the era. At the start of this volume, Dio presents the early life of Gaius Octavius, who becomes the powerful figure Augustus, and how his rise is intertwined with the political turmoil following Julius Caesar's murder. The narrative details Octavius’s background, his connections to Caesar, and the events leading to his eventual assumption of power amidst the rivalry with Antony and Cicero’s prominent speeches against the latter. Through vivid storytelling, Dio sets the stage for a broader understanding of this critical period in Roman history, exemplifying the tension between the desire for power and the complex political landscape of the time.
