About Gnaeus Pompeius Trogus
Gnaeus Pompeius Trogus (fl. 1st century BC), also anglicized as Pompey Trogue, was a Gallo-Roman historian from the Celtic Vocontii tribe in Narbonese Gaul who lived during the reign of the emperor Augustus, and was therefore a contemporary of Livy. Trogus seems to have been a polymath.
