He wrote eighty volumes covering the history of ancient Rome, starting with Aeneas's arrival in Italy. The volumes traced the following establishment of Rome (753 BC), the Republic (509 BC), and the Empire (27 BC) all the way up to 229 AD. Dio spent 22 years writing a book in Ancient Greek that spans around a millennium of history. Numerous of his eighty works have remained whole or in pieces, giving contemporary researchers a comprehensive understanding of Roman history.
