150-235 Roman historian of the Imperial period. Born in Nicaea in Asia Minor, he became a senator under the reign of Emperor Commodus. During the Severan dynasty, he was appointed praetor in 194 and consul in 205 and 229. During that time, he served as governor of the province of Africa and governor of the provinces of Dalmatia and Pannonia. He wrote in Greek, beginning with a work on the dreams and omens of Emperor Septimius Severus during the reign of the latter. While writing a work on the civil war of 193, he expanded his project to include a History of Rome, covering the period from the founding of Rome to 229.
