Granius Licinianus
Granius Licinianus (active in the 2nd century AD) was a Roman author of historical and encyclopedic works that survive only in fragments. He most likely lived at the time of Hadrian.〔Gian Biagio Conte, ''Latin Literature: A History'' (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1987, 1994), p. 551 (online. )〕
==History==
Granius compiled a "novel"〔Michael von Albrecht, ''A History of Roman Literature'' (Brill, 1994, 1997), p. 864.〕 narrative epitome of Roman history, drawing mainly on Livy and Sallust, that ran to at least 36 books, "keen on anecdotes and curious details."〔Conte, ''Latin Literature'', p. 551; Erich S. Gruen, ''The Last Generation of the Roman Republic'' (University of California Press, 1974, 1995), p. 16.〕 That he had his own views on historiography should not be doubted: in his opinion, Sallust ought not to be read as an historian at all, but as an orator.〔Granius, 36; Michael Grant, ''Ancient Historians'' (Barnes & Noble, 1970, 1994), p. 211; H.J. Rose, ''A Handbook of Latin Literature'' (Routledge, 1936, 1996), p. 219.〕 Granius covered the history of Rome from the early times at least to the death of Julius Caesar; the assumption of this as an end-point of his history has sometimes caused him to be identified with Granius Flaccus and his life to be dated to the 1st century BC.〔Rose, ''Handbook'', pp. 29 and 514; Rose rejects the identification, mainly promulgated in the 19th century.〕 Though riddled with ''lacunae,'' Granius's Book 35 presents one of the most informative accounts of the siege of Rome during the civil war of 87 BC, and his history regularly provides illuminative details that complement more complete histories.〔Christoph F. Konrad, ''Plutarch's'' Sertorius'': A Historical Commentary'' pp. lii and 69.〕 Some fragments of the books relating to the years 163-78 BC are preserved in a manuscript which was discovered in 1853 and survives as a double ''palimpsest,'' that is, a 5th-century copy was overwritten in the 6th century with a Latin grammatical treatise and again in the 11th century with a Syriac translation of John Chrysostom's sermons. (Add. 17212)〔Ralph W. Mathisen, "Paleography and Codicology," in ''The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Studies'' Oxford University Press, 2008), p. 148.〕
Granius also wrote ''Cenae Suae'' ("My Dinner Parties"), an encyclopedic work that displayed his antiquarian interests in the manner of Aulus Gellius and his ''Attic Nights''.〔Conte, ''Latin Literature'', p. 551.〕
