Specialist Notes

Justin devoted himself to extracting from the Historiae Philippicae of Pompeius Trogus, a Roman writer of the Augustan period, what he considered noteworthy and useful for reading and moral education. More interesting for its anecdotal rather than historical content, the book was widely distributed in late Roman times.
