<em>ΡΩΜΑΙΚΗ ΑΡΧΑΙΟΛΟΓΙΑ </em>ΔΙΟΝYΣΙΟY AΛΙΚΑΡΝΑΣΕΩΣ AS A CONTEMPORARY HISTORICAL SOURCE

Abstract

Dionysius of Halicarnassus lived in Rome as a Greek teacher of Rhetoric, where he studied the Roman history. His historic work "Roman Antiquities" was of rhetorical nature.

The paper was not completely since it relied on the Roman analysts, but it represented a very valuable source of the early period of Roman history, which explored the origins and migrations of the first tribes who inhabited the Apennine peninsula.
