He became a Roman citizen and moved to Rome after the Jewish uprising in Alexandria of 116-117CE. After working as an advocate (somewhat like a modern-day attorney), Appian’s friendships and connections helped him work his way up to a procurator position under Emperor Antoninus Pius. The most important remnants of Appian's work are the five books on the Civil Wars—books 13-17 of the Roman History. These five books stand out because they are the only comprehensive, meticulous source available on an extremely significant historical period, during which Roman politics were in turmoil because of factional strife.
