Sempronius Asellio
Publius Sempronius Asellio (born around 158 BC, died after 91 BC)〔Liv. lxxiv. Epit.〕 was an early Roman historian and one of the first writers of historiographic work in Latin. He was a military tribune of P. Scipio Aemilianus Africanus at the siege of Numantia in Hispania in 134 B.C. Later he joined the circle of writers centred on Scipio Aemilianus. Asellio wrote the history of the events of which he was engaged in,〔Aulus Gellius, ''Noctes Atticae'' 2.13.3 .〕 and thus preceded Caesar in his more famous accounts of his military campaigns.
==Life==
Asellio, whose background is unknown, probably belonged to the prestigious plebeian gens Sempronia. He was greatly influenced by his co-writer Polybius, who was supported by Scipio Aemilianus. Polybius attempted not only to record events as they took place, but also to look for the causes that led to them. Asellio was the first Roman historian to follow this method2.〔Smith, W., ''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology''. Digitized copy in (Ancient Library ). Retrieved 14 September 2007.〕 In his work, he showed contempt for the previous Roman historians of the annalistic school. According to him, they wrote nothing else than a diary as far as form was concerned.〔Asellio cited by Gellius 5.18.7-9 .〕〔Bruno Gentili, Giovanni Cerri, ''La letteratura di Roma arcaica e l'ellenismo''. Con la collaborazione di Salvatore Monda. Biblioteca Aragno. Torino: Nino Aragno Editore, 2005. Chapter 7.〕
