Florus, born apparently in Africa, lived in Spain and in Rome in
Hadrian's time. He wrote, in brief pointed rhetorical style, a
summary of Roman history (especially wars) in two books in order to
show the greatness and decline of Roman morals. It is based chiefly
on Livy. It was perhaps planned to reach his own times, but the
extant work ends with Augustus's reign (30 BCE-14 CE). This Epitome
is a useful rapid sketch of Roman military history.
Poetry by Florus is also available in the Loeb Classical
Library, in "Minor Latin Poets, Volume II."
