Beschreibung
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 profile of a multifaceted intellectual personality emerges, attracted by rationalism and influenced by the doctrine of Euhemerus, and particularly interested in the story of the origins of the city of Rome and its institutions.
