Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
JUSTIN (JUNIANUS JUSTINUS) , Roman historian, probably lived during the age of the Antonines. Of his personal history nothing is known. He is the author of Historiarum Philippicarum libri XLIV., a
work
  described by himself in his
preface
  as a collection of the most important and interesting passages from the voluminous Historiae philippicae et tolius mundi origines et terrac situs,written in the time of
Augustus
  by Pompeius Trogus (q.v.). The
work
  of Trogus is lost; but the prologi or arguments of the text are preserved by Pliny and other writers. Although the main theme of Trogus was the rise and history of the Macedonian monarchy,
Justin
  yet permitted himself considerable freedom of digression, and thus produced a capricious
anthology
  instead of a
regular
  epitome of the work. As it stands, however, the history contains much valuable information. The style, though far from perfect, is clear and occasionally elegant. The book was much used in the middle ages, when the author was sometimes confounded with
Justin
 
Martyr
