Appian of Alexander was a Greek historian who lived at the height of the Roman Empire during the first half of the 2nd century AD, having been born around AD 95 and died about AD 165. Very little is known about him beyond what he reveals about himself, along with the fact that he lived in Alexandria. He was a Roman citizen and held several senior-level public offices, both in Alexandria and in Rome.

Excellent though slightly confusing
Revisado: 05-10-22
I've been reading quite a few of the ancient historians over the last two years and they are truly remarkable. Appian tells the stories of Rome's Wars very well, but unlike for example Polybius, he writes about these wars based om where they were fought. Hannibal's wsr against Rome is treated first in the chapter on Spain which chapter then goes on until the days of Augustus, then there is a chapter on Hannibal's fighting in Italy and finally his fighting in Africa is detailed as part of the chapter on wars in Africa. Frustrating and a bit confusing.
Still, it is an excellent piece of history and highly recommend.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 210
This ninth volume of The Flashman Papers, faithfully edited and transcribed by Fraser, finds that Sir Harry Flashman is back in India, where his saga began. This time, our hero is sent by Her Majesty's Secret Service to spy on the corrupt court of Lahore, on India's Northwest Frontier. Flashy's most challenging exploit yet is as politically shrewd and thoroughly lewd as ever.

Mixed blessing

Love the story. Didn't like the reader at all. Awful. The man obviously had only a few voices to use. One for Sikh women, one for Sikh nobles.
