Granius Licinianus
Granius Licinianus, Roman annalist, probably lived in the age of the Antonines[?] (2nd century AD).
He was the author of a brief epitome of Roman history based upon Livy, which he utilized as a means of displaying his antiquarian lore. Accounts of omens, portents, prodigies and other remarkable things apparently took up a considerable portion of the work. Some fragments of the books relating to the years 163-178 BC are preserved in a British Museum manuscript.
