Exsuperantius, Julius
a Roman historian, with regard to whom we possess no information, but who, from the character of his style, is believed to have flourished in the fifth or sixth century.
Works
De Marü, Lepidi, ac Sertorii bellis civilibus
Under his name we have a short tract, entitled De Marü, Lepidi, ac Sertorii bellis civilibus, which many suppose to have been abridged from the Histories of Sallust.
Editions
It will be found appended to the editions of Sallust by Wasse, Cantab. 4to. 1710; by Corte, Lips. 4to. 1724; by Havercamp, Amstel. 4to. 1742; and by Gerlach, Basil. 4to. 1823.
