Sul nome di Cassio Dione : l’ignorata testimonianza di Fozio
Résumé
This article sheds new light on the praenomen of the historian Cassius Dio.
Photios in the Bibliotheca (ch. 71) calls him Lucius, but the inaccuracy of
modern editions of this work has obscured this information. Nevertheless,
this praenomen is confirmed by a Roman military diploma discovered in 1985
(AE 1985, 821), in which the letter L is prefixed to the name of the consul
Cassius Dio.
