"Dio's Rome, Volume 2" by Cassius Dio Cocceianus is a historical account likely composed in Greek during the early 3rd century AD. This work provides an in-depth narrative of Roman history, particularly focusing on the political and military events during the late Republican period, encompassing the exploits of prominent figures such as Lucullus and Pompey. At the start of the volume, the narrative introduces several key battles and political maneuvers during the
Mithridatic Wars, particularly highlighting Lucullus's campaigns against Mithridates and Tigranes. It describes the complex dynamics of warfare, shifting allegiances among various kingdoms, and Lucullus's eventual struggles with his own army. The opening also sets the stage for Pompey's rising influence as he is later entrusted with both the campaign against the pirates and the Mithridatic War, signifying the tensions between personal ambition and public service during this tumultuous period in Roman history.
