Granius Licinianus: Fragments

Library › Latin: History › Fragments

Granius Licinianus was a Roman historian, probably of the second century AD, whose annalistic history of Rome survives only in fragments preserved in a palimpsest manuscript, where his text was later overwritten. The surviving portions come from books dealing with the second and early first centuries BC, including the period of Sulla and the civil wars, and contain notices of events, prodigies, and anecdotes. Much of the text is damaged and can be read only in part, as the many gaps in the edition show. It is cited here from Nicola Criniti’s edition.

Despite their condition, the fragments preserve information on Roman history of the late Republic not found elsewhere, and they illustrate the antiquarian interests of historians in the age of the Antonines, who favoured curiosities and digressions. They are a reminder of how much Roman historical writing has been lost and how much the recovery of palimpsests has added to knowledge of ancient literature.
