Justin

Justin, a Roman historian who flourished, in all probability, in the 3d or 4th century, although some assign him an earlier date. His Historiarum Philippicarum Libri XLIV. is a selection, rather than an abridgment, from the Historica Philippica of Trogus Pompeius, a work now lost, and so called from its being in the first instance a history of the Macedonian monarchy, but really a kind of history of the world down to the Roman conquest of the East. There are editions by Dübner (1831), Hartwig (1860), and Rühl (1886).
