Justin: Epitome of the Philippic History of Pompeius Trogus: Volume II: Books 13-15:The Successors to Alexander the Great: Clarendon Ancient History Series

Traducere de J. C. Yardley Comentarii de Pat Wheatley, Waldemar Heckel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 dec 2011
Pompeius Trogus, a Romanized Gaul living in the age of Augustus, wrote a forty-four book universal history (The Philippic History) of the non-Roman Mediterranean world. This work was later abbreviated by M. Junianus Justinus. Alexander the Great's life has been examined in minute detail by scholars for many decades, but the period of chaos that ensued after his death in 323 BC has received much less attention. Few historical sources recount the history of this period consecutively. Justin's abbreviated epitome of the lost Philippic history of Pompeius Trogus is the only relatively continuous account we have left of the events that transpired in the 40 years from 323 BC. This volume supplies a historical analysis of this unique source for the difficult period of Alexander's Successors up to 297 BC, a full translation, and running commentary on Books 13-15.

This excellant book ... both informs and stimulates further thought on the Diadochoi, while being accessible enough for advanced undergraduates to consult.
