Justin and Pompeius Trogus: A Study of the Language of Justin's "Epitome" of Trogus
Around 200AD, Marcus Junianus Justinus produced an abridged or 'epitomized' version of the Philippic Histories of the Augustan historian Pompeius Trogus. In doing so, he omitted all he did not find either intrinsically interesting or of use for historical examples. Over the centuries that followed, the abridgement eclipsed the original work in popularity, to the extent that Trogus' original work vanished and only Justin's version survived. In thi…
Justin and Pompeius Trogus: A Study of the Language of Justin's "Epitome" of Trogus
Yardley also demonstrates how much Trogus was influenced by his contemporary Livy as well as other Roman authors such as Sallust and Caesar, and how the Epitome reveals the influence of Roman poetry, especially the work of Virgil
Justin on tribunates and generalships, Casares , and Augusti
Little, if anything, in Justin scholarship has been as controversial as the dating of the so-called Epitome of the Philippic History of Pompeius Trogus . Suggested dates have varied from the time of Antoninus Pius through the third century to the end of the fourth. The latter was proposed in 1988 by Sir Ronald Syme, but has in fact received little support in subsequent literature on Justin, which has tended to accept the earlier dating (late seco…
"Justin, Trogus, and the "Aetna
IN AN ARTICLE ENTITLED Vergil und published more than a century ago in Rheinisches Museum,' Adolf Sonny convincingly demonstrated that Justin's so-called Epitome of Pompeius Trogus contains a large number of Virgilian reminiscences. Not all of Sonny's examples, it is true, are compelling. To take but two from the start of his list: his contention that Artemisia ... inter primos duces bellum acerrime ciebat is Virgilian (Justin 2.12.24; cf. Aen. 1…
The Student's Catullus
Cerinthus' Pia Cura ([Tibullus] 3.17.1–2)
In a recent issue of CQ , N. J. Lowe refers to the ‘slyly Catullan appeal to the language of pietas ’ in [Tib.] 3.7 (4.11) 1–2 (‘Estne tibi, Cerinthe, tuae pia cura puellae / quod mea nunc vexat corpora fessa calor’?). In this he follows Matthew Santirocco, who comments on these lines: ‘significantly, the expression for love here is not just cura as before [ sc. in 3.16 [4.10] 3], but pia cura . We recall the pietas Catullus proclaimed in his aff…

Quintus Curtius Rufus: The History of Alexander
The History of Alexander
Alexander the Great (356-323 BC), who led the Macedonian army to victory in Egypt, Syria, Persia and India, was perhaps the most successful conqueror the world has ever seen. Yet although no other individual has attracted so much speculation across the centuries, Alexander himself remains an enigma. Curtius' History offers a great deal of information unobtainable from other sources of the time. A compelling narrative of a turbulent era, the work …
Paulus Silentiarius, Ovid, and Propertius
In the late nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth thematic resemblances to the Roman elegists in Paulus Silentiarius (and other late epigrammatists) were explained as the result of the poets' reliance on a common Hellenistic source – usually this was identified as the so-called ‘subjective Alexandrian love elegy’ – and this represented a departure from the views of earlier scholars such as Hertzberg and Postgate, who had maint…

The Roman Elegists, Sick Girls, And The Soteria
In his very valuable study of generic patterns in ancient poetry Francis Cairns assigns Propertius 2.28, [Tib.] 3.10 (4.4), and (tentatively) Ovid Am. 2.13 to the genre Soteria , that is works of congratulation and thanksgiving on the recovery from illness (or rescue from danger) of a friend, and he sees the resemblances between the poems as due to the elegists’ attempts to produce ‘dramatized’ examples of the genre, with the situation developing…
Sick-Visiting in Roman Elegy
THE THEME of the girl's sickness occurs frequently in Roman Love Elegy.' The course of Cynthia's dangerous illness is charted by Propertius in 2.28; Cerinthus prays for Sulpicia's recovery in [Tib.] 3.10 [4.4.]; Corinna suffers the dangerous after-effects of an abortion in Ovid Am. 2.13. All three elegists also use the girl's sickness to illustrate the obsequium of the lover, who (in stark contrast to his rival) visits the sickbed of his beloved.…
