Оригинальное сообщение: This is an open call for papers for our forthcoming conference on Cassius Dio – Greek Intellectual and Roman Politician, a conference on historiography, politics and the intellectual history of Rome, to be held at Cassius Dio – Greek Intellectual and Roman Politician, a conference on historiography, politics and the intellectual history of Rome, to be held at the University of Southern Denmark, Odense, 29-31 October 2014. The bimillennium of Augustus’ death on 19 August 2014 presents an excellent opportunity to revisit and re-evaluate Cassius Dio, a key source for the history of Augustus and his successors. Next year also presents us with the opportunity to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the publication of Fergus Millar’s monograph A study of Cassius Dio, a book that remains at the centre of Augustan scholarship and Roman historiography. Regardless of what we think of Dio as a historian, there is no denying that he occupies a central position in Roman historiography. He is the fullest surviving source for the reign of Augustus and fundamental to the study of the Principate until 229 CE, when he retired from Roman politics.

The list of confirmed speakers includes John Rich, Nottingham. The conference wishes to address the following and similar questions related to Cassius Dio:
It is our intention to publish the conference proceedings. The language of the volume as well as the conference is English. The conference is part of a new project on Cassius Dio by Jesper M. Madsen. In order to facilitate the conference proper we are applying for funding from the Danish Council for Independent Research. At this stage we therefore need three things: (1) a preliminary title, (2) a CV of no more than one page, and (3) a brief abstract of 200 words, by no later than 20 October 2013.
