In the introduction to his Roman History, he boasts “ that he pleaded cases in Rome before the emperors .” The emperors he claims to have addressed must have been either Hadrian or Marcus Aurelius and definitely Antoninus Pius, for Appian remained in Egypt at least until the end of the reign of Trajan ( 117 ).

Bruun argues that within § 34 of Pro Caelio Cicero powerfully employs “ the oratorical technique of “ personification ” or “ speech in character ” ( prosopopeia ) and for a while pretended, apparently both by gestures and by voice, to be one of Clodia ’ s most famous ancestors, the censor Appius Claudius Caecus .” According to Bruun, Appius proclaims to have spurred three major civic accomplishments, while for each Cicero attempts to point out a reason why Clodia should be ashamed of herself for immorality connected with the Appian works.

Appian, who began writing his Roman History under Antonius Pius, Roman Emperor from 138 to 161, noted: “ ut going beyond these rivers in places they rule some of the Celts over the Rhine and the Getae over the Danube, whom they call Dacians ”.

The date of his downfall is uncertain ; Josephus reckons he was killed around 90 BC fighting the Parthians-and his possession of Antioch was certainly lost to Philip I Philadelphus around then-whereas for instance Appian speaks of him being defeated when the Armenian king Tigranes invaded Syria by 83 BC, but in that case his actions in the meantime remain unrevealed.

Gaius Asinius Pollio ( sometimes wrongly called Pollius or Philo ) ( Teate Marrucinorum-currently Chieti in Abruzzi 75 BC – AD 4 ) was a Roman soldier, politician, orator, poet, playwright, literary critic and historian, whose lost contemporary history, provided much of the material for the historians Appian and Plutarch.

The Roman catacombs, of which there are forty in the suburbs, were built along the consular roads out of Rome, such as the Appian way, the via Ostiense, the via Labicana, the via Tiburtina, and the via Nomentana.

There is no doubt that Tauromenium continued to form a part of the kingdom of Syracuse until the death of Hieron, and that it only passed under the government of Rome when the whole island of Sicily was reduced to a Roman province ; but we have scarcely any account of the part it took during the Second Punic War, though it would appear, from a hint in Appian, that it submitted to Marcellus on favorable terms ; and it is probable that it was on that occasion it obtained the peculiarly favored position it enjoyed under the Roman dominion.

Alternatively, on the other side of the Apennines, highway 7 ( the old Roman Appian Way ) followed along the west coast but south of Rome ran into the Pontine Marshes which the Germans had flooded.
