Dionysius of Halicarnassus

Years of birth and death unknown. Ancient Greek historian and rhetorician of the second half of the first century B.C.

Dionysius was born in Halicarnassus (Asia Minor). Beginning in 30 B.C. he lived in Rome, where he wrote in Greek his principal work, Roman Antiquities, a history of Rome from mythological times to the beginning of the First Punic War. Of its 20 books the first nine, substantial parts of Books 10 and 11, and fragments of the remaining ones have been preserved; in the books that have been preserved the exposition is brought down to 442 B.C.’ Dionysius’ political views were close to those prevailing in senatorial, aristocratic circles. His writings are marked by an uncritical attitude toward sources. Dionysius was also the author of several works on rhetoric (On the Arrangement of Words, On the Ancient Orators).
