Though his writings have not totally survived, Pompeius Trogus, a Roman historian who lived in the first century BC, is significant for studies of the Hellenistic period.
Trogus was a Gallia Narbonensis Vocontian Gaul whose father served as Julius Caesar's secretary and whose ancestor had received Roman citizenship (as well as the name Pompeius) from Pompey. The zoological treatise De animalibus, written by Trogus in at least 10 books and cited by Pliny the Elder, and the 44-book history Historiae Philippicae, also known as the "Philippic Histories" because its main focus is the Macedonian empire established by Philip II, are both among his works.
The ancient kingdoms of Assyria, Persia, Macedonia, and the Hellenistic monarchy were all covered in this text, along with Parthia, Rome's kings, Gaul, and Spain. His viewpoint is cosmopolitan and Greek, not patriotic and Roman, in contrast to Livy's tradition. Although the original work is lost, Justin's Epitome captures its essence.
