JUSTIN (JUNIANUS JUSTINUS) , See also:Roman historian, probably lived during the See also:age of the Antonines. Of his See also:personal See also:history nothing is known. He is the author of Historiarum Philippicarum libri XLIV., a See also:work described by himself in his See also: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 See also:time of See also:Augustus by Pompeius See also:Trogus (q.v.). The work of Trogus is lost; but the prologi or arguments of the See also:text are preserved by See also:Pliny and other writers.

As it stands, however, the history contains much valuable See also:information. The See also:style, though far from perfect, is clear and occasionally elegant. The See also:book was much used in the See also:middle ages, when the author was sometimes confounded with Justin See also:Martyr. Ed. princeps (1470) ; J. G. See also:Graevius (1668) ; J. F.
