Appian, The Spanish Wars

Appian of Alexandria (c.95-c.165): one of the most underestimated of all Greek historians, author of a Roman History in twenty-four books.

His account of the Spanish Wars is fortunately among these better preserved parts. It describes all Roman conflicts on the Iberian peninsula from the moment on which Rome conquered the Mediterranean coast during the war against Hannibal Barca until the final pacification by the emperor Augustus.

The translation was made by Horace White; notes by Jona Lendering.

There are two systems to divide the Spanish Wars: in 102 sections or 16 chapters. On these webpages, the text is divided into sections; the following table shows the division into chapters.
