This paper analyzes the reconstruction of the historical period corresponding to the "pentecontetia" of Thucydides in Trogus' prologi and in Justin (books II-III), with particular attention to the adopted periodization , the selection of topics and the historiographical tradition of reference. The analysis highlights the presence in Trogus / Justin a historiographical original path, independent from Thucydides, whose dependence on the historiographical thinking of the IV century is likely, although difficult to be reconstructed in details.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the reconstruction of the historical period corresponding to the "pentecontetia" of Thucydides in Trogus' prologi and in Justin (books II-III), with particular attention to the adopted periodization , the selection of topics and the historiographical tradition of reference. The analysis highlights the presence in Trogus / Justin a historiographical original path, independent from Thucydides, whose dependence on the historiographical thinking of the IV century is likely, although difficult to be reconstructed in details.
