Exsuperantius

A Roman historian of the fourth or fifth century A.D., who wrote a monograph De Marii, Lepidi, ac Sertorii Bellis Civilibus, preserved in a MS. of Sallust at Paris and dating from the eleventh century. The treatise is largely drawn from the Iugurtha and Historiae, and contains a number of absurd historical errors, such as confounding the elder with the younger Marius. It was last edited by Bursian (Zürich, 1868).
