Appian Roman history full Four Volumes (PDF )

Appian's Roman history 

Appian’s Roman History is a monumental 24‑book account of Rome’s rise, written in Greek around the mid‑2nd century CE, covering Rome’s wars from its foundation through the civil wars up to Augustus. It is one of the most important surviving sources for the late Republic, especially the civil conflicts

Appian (Appianus) was a Greek official of Alexandria. He saw the Jewish rebellion of 116 CE, and later became a Roman citizen and advocate and received the rank of eques (knight). In his older years, he held a procuratorship.

 He died during the reign of Antoninus Pius who was emperor 138–161 CE. An honest admirer of the Roman empire though ignorant of the institutions of the earlier Roman republic, he wrote, in the simple 'common' dialect, 24 books of 'Roman affairs', in fact, conquests, from the beginnings to the times of Trajan (emperor 98–117 CE). Eleven have come down to us complete, or nearly so, namely those on the Spanish, Hannibalic, Punic, Illyrian, Syrian, and Mithridatic wars, and five books on the Civil Wars. They are valuable records of military history. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Appian is in four volumes.
