Specialist Notes

Incunabula edition printed in Venice of the only text handed down to us by Justin. The Roman historian based himself on Pompeo Trogo's Historiae Pgilippicae to extract the passages that he considered most relevant and morally educational, delivering a text rich in interesting anecdotal elements.
