- Title
Reassessing the 'Cumaean Chronicle': Greek Chronology and Roman History in Dionysius of Halicarnassus.
- Authors
Gallia, Andrew B.
- Abstract
The article re-examines the origin and development of the Greek tradition for Cumaean history under Aristodemus, and reassesses its possible value as evidence for early Roman history. It zeroes in on three points of contact between Rome and Aristodemus. The first involves the indirect confirmation of the invasion of Latium by an Etruscan army sometime towards the end of the 16th century B.C.E. This invasion seems to be confirmed by Dionysius' distillation of Cumaean tradition. The two remaining instances of overlap between Cumaean and Roman events represent cases of direct involvement by Aristodemus in the course of Roman history.
