  Gnaeus Pompeius Trogus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gnaeus Pompeius Trogus, 1st century BC Roman historian, of the Celtic tribe of the Vocontii in Gallia Narbonensis, flourished during the age of Augustus, nearly contemporary with Livy.
Trogus began with a legendary Ninus, founder of Nineveh, and ended at about the same point as Livy (AD 9).
Chiefly on the ground that such a work was beyond the powers of a Roman, it is generally agreed that Trogus did not gather together the information from the leading Greek historians for himself, but that it was already combined into a single book by some Greek (very probably Timagenes of Alexandria).

Gnaeus Pompeius Trogus war ein römischer Historiker aus dem Gebiet der Vecontier in der Provinz Gallia Narbonensis, der in der Zeit von Augustus und Livius wirkte.
Trogus selbst scheint ein Mann mit enzyklopädischem Wissen gewesen zu sein.
Hauptsächlich aus dem Grund, dass solch eine Sammlung die Möglichkeiten eines Römers überstieg, wird allgemein angenommen, dass Trogus die Angaben der führenden griechischen Historiker nicht selbst sammelte, sondern dass sie bereits in einem anderen Buch (höchstwahrscheinlich von Timagenes von Alexandria) zusammengeführt waren.

The work of Trogus is lost; but the prologi or arguments of the text are preserved by Pliny and other writers.
Although the main theme of Trogus was the rise and history of the Macedonian monarchy, Justin yet permitted himself considerable freedom of digression, and thus produced a capricious anthology instead of a regular epitome of the work.

Pompeius Strabo was a Roman from the rural Italian district of Picenum, that lay between the Apennines and the Adriatic.

Hislop then notes that Ninus, the son of Belus or Bel, was the husband of Semiramis and thus Ninus was both the son and husband of Semiramis.
Hislop says that Gnaeus Pompeius Trogus, a 1st century BC Roman historian, states that Ninus was king of the Assyrians, and thus he is clearly Nimrod.
He backs up his hypothesis with accounts of Diodorus Siculus and on the basis of Genesis 10:11, where he says that Asshur was expelled by Nimrod and setup a kingdom that competed with him.

Epic in length, flawed in execution, but with flashes of brilliance in the insights of its youthful author, Festus was at one time the most popular book in the English language and is the source of the term "omnist".
Sextus Pompeius Festus was a Roman grammarian, who probably flourished in the later 2nd century AD, perhaps at Narbo (Narbonne) in Gaul.
He made an epitome of the encyclopedic treatise in many volumes De verborum significatu, of Verrius Flaccus, a celebrated grammarian who flourished in the reign of Augustus.
