  Granius Licinianus - translation
Granius Licinianus is believed to have lived in the second century A.D. A few pages of his History of Rome survive, in a palimpsest, but the rapidity of his style, together with frequent gaps in the Latin text, makes translation hazardous.
This translation is based on the edition by N.Criniti.
For he was by nature a troublemaker and incapable of staying quiet.
