LOEB CLASSICAL LIBRARY 2020 Founded by JAMES LOEB 1911 Edited by JEFFREY HENDERSON LOEB CLASSICAL LIBRARY Founded by JAMES LOEB 1911 Edited by JEFFREY HENDERSON Dear Friend of the Loeb Classical Library, Over a century ago, James Loeb designed his iconic volumes with an eye to easy portability, “of a size,” according to the early advertisements, “to fit in a gentleman’s pocket.” But while the coronavirus pandemic has drastically curtailed travel worldwide, it is conversely their ability to transport readers to another time and place that feels more valuable than ever. Under such circumstances, the appearance of Gareth Schmeling’s new Loeb edition of Petronius’ Satyricon and Seneca’s Apocolocyntosis is particularly welcome. Replacing the early and problematic texts and translations by Michael Heseltine and founding General Editor W. H. D. Rouse, respectively (with frequent revisions by the latter’s successors E. H. Warmington and G. P. Goold), these fresh versions of two Roman satires in prose and verse take us on a rollicking ride from Campania to Cortona, and from Olympus to the Under- world. For those of us who miss the conviviality of communal dining along with the thrill of the open road, the former also includes the hilarious Cena Trimalchionis, replete with unusual and interesting Latin vocabulary to suit all tastes. (Dormouse, anyone?) Their appetites whetted by this amusing jaunt through Italy, readers hungry for more expan- sive Mediterranean travels can treat themselves to two more somber (and sober) historical narratives: J. C. Yardley’s Livy, History of Rome, Volumes VI–VII chronicle the Second Punic War not just in the Romans’ native peninsula, but also throughout Spain, Sicily, Greece, and Macedonia, while Brian McGing’s Appian, Volumes IV–VI complete his Loeb edition of this important and relatively neglected author with five books on Rome’s civil wars that unfold on battlefields across the empire. Finally, for those who simply cannot get enough rhetoric and medicine in these tumultuous times, Gisela Striker and Ian Johnston prescribe thoughtful antidotes for escapism in their new editions of Aristotle and Galen, respectively.

ROMAN HISTORY Volumes IV–VI Appian EDITED AND TRANSLATED BY BRIAN MCGING Appian (Appianus) is among our principal sources for the history of the Roman Republic. Born circa AD 95, Appian was an Alexandrian official at ease in the highest political and literary circles who later became a Roman citizen and advocate. His theme is the process by which the Roman Empire achieved its contemporary prosperity, and his unique method is to trace in individual books the story of each nation’s wars with Rome up through her own civil wars. This edition of Appian replaces the original Loeb edition by Horace White.
