Appian of
Alexandria (c.95-c.165) is the author of a Roman History and
one of the most underestimated of all Greek historians. Although only his
books on the Roman Civil Wars survive in their entirety, large parts of
other books have also come down to us. The Illyrian wars, which
were part of the book on the Macedonian
wars, belong to these better preserved parts. They are a valuable
source for the history of the western Balkan peninsula.
The translation was made by Horace White; additions
in green by Jona
Lendering.
There are two systems to divide the Illyrian
Wars: in thirty sections or five chapters. On these webpages, the text
is divided into sections; the following table shows the division into chapters.
