Quae Supersunt
presents the surviving fragments of the historical work of Granius Licinianus, a Roman historian of uncertain date, likely active in the 2nd century CE. This collection offers invaluable insights into Roman history, particularly the tumultuous periods of the late Republic and early Empire. Preserved through quotations in later sources and a palimpsest discovered in the 19th century, these fragments, though incomplete, shed light on events and figures not fully covered in other extant historical texts.
Students and scholars of Roman history and Latin literature will find this volume essential for understanding the complexities of Roman historiography and the challenges of reconstructing the past from fragmentary evidence. The work provides a glimpse into the historical perspectives and literary style of a historian whose complete work has been lost to time.
