Historiae Philippicae

Historiae Philippicae, or 'Philippic Histories,' by Marcus Junianus Justinus, is a valuable compendium of world history derived primarily from the earlier, more extensive work of Pompeius Trogus. This edition, entitled 'Libri XLIV: Editio Usui Scholarum Adcommodata,' is specifically adapted for scholastic use, making it an accessible resource for students exploring ancient history. The text provides a sweeping overview of various empires and conflicts, with a particular focus on the rise of Philip II of Macedon and the subsequent conquests of Alexander the Great. Justinus’s abridgment, while concise, preserves many important details and anecdotes not found elsewhere, offering unique insights into the characters and events that shaped the ancient world. Despite being an epitome, 'Historiae Philippicae' has remained a significant historical source, providing context and perspective on the complex tapestry of ancient civilizations.
