footnote:
The name of the historian Florus varies in the two main manuscripts (Bambergensis: Julius
Florus
Nazarianus: L. Anneus Florus). In all probability the historian is identical with
the P. Annius Florus in the autobiographical introduction to the dialogue Vergilius orator
an poeta
and with the poet "Florus" ("Annius Florus"))

Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 2,
1867, p. 176-: "We possess a summary of Roman history, divided into four books, extending
from the foundation of the city to the establishment of the empire under Augustus (A. D.
20), entitled Rerum Romanarum Libri IV., or Epitome de Gestis Romanorum, and composed, as we
learn from the prooemium, in the reign of Trajan or of Hadrian. This compendium, which must
by no means be regarded as an abridgment of Livy, but as a compilation from various
authorities, presents within a very moderate compass a striking view of all the leading
events comprehended by the above limits. A few mistakes in chronology and geography have
been detected here and there
but the narrative is, for the most part, philosophic in
arrangement and accurate in detail, although it has too much the air of a panegyric upon the
Roman people....With regard to the author all is doubt and uncertainty. In many MSS. he is
designated as L. Annaeus Florus, in others as L. Julius Florus, in others as L. Annaeus
Seneca, and in one, perhaps the oldest of all, simply as L. Annaeus..."
Brill's New Pauly: "Florus, P. Annius F. Lat. poet and writer, 1st/2nd
cent. AD.... Under the cognomen Florus (in conjunction with the family name Annius or
Ann(a)eus and the first name P. or L.) four works or groups of works are known: 1. the
introduction to a dialogue Vergilius orator an poeta (P. Annius F.), 2. and 3. fragment of a
correspondence (Charisius, Gramm. 66,10f.
157,21f. B.) and an exchange of poetry (cf. also
Anth. Lat. 238-246
75
84-87ShB) with Hadrian (Annius F.) and 4. an Epitome de Tito Livio
(L. Anneus F.). The identity of the person behind this is generally acknowledged today
