There are references to Rome in Greek works dating from the fifth century BC which are referenced by Dionysius of Halicarnassus. Greek writers mentioned include Hellanicus, Theopompus, Aristotle, Callias, Theophrastus, Hieronymus of Cardia, Timaeus. The Chronicles of Cumae may have referred to Rome and Latium. The emperor Claudius is known to have used Etruscan sources for his work on Etruscan history. Claudius's work, now lost, was used subsequently by Tacitus as a source. The work of the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus, active in the first century BC, probably used Fabius Pictor as a source.
