About this person
Gnaeus Pompeius Trogus came from the Vocontii, a Celtic tribe in Narbonese Gaul, and flourished in the 1st century BC. He lived and worked under Augustus, writing history at the same time Livy was shaping Rome's official narrative. Trogus appears to have been a polymath, though the full scope of his learning survives mostly in shadow.
