It is difficult to imagine anything missing from this commentary, which is sure to become standard. * Caitlin Gillespie, The Classical Review *

Mallan clearly feels the need to defend, in his Preface, his belief that commentaries remain 'fundamentally useful' books that 'provide a way to access the mind of an ancient writer'. In his clear, readable translation ... and the careful, informative commentary, equally insightful on matters historical and historiographical, that is exactly what he has produced. But it has the additional bonus that, because of his commitment to taking seriously the manuscript tradition and thus Dio's later epitomisors, not just one but multiple minds are here laid bare. * James Corke-Webster, Greece & Rome * It is difficult to imagine anything missing from this commentary, which is sure to become standard. * Caitlin Gillespie, The Classical Review *
