The volume is divided into three chapters which, starting from some fragments of Cassio Emina, reconstruct the cultural climate, the forms, the method and the constants of the historiographical activity of this author.

The volumes published in the series Beiträge zur Altertumskunde comprise monographs, collective volumes, editions, translations and commentaries on various topics from the fields of Greek and Latin Philology, Ancient History, Archeology, Ancient Philosophy as well as Classical Reception Studies. The series thus offers indispensable research tools for a wide range of disciplines related to Ancient Studies.
