Fabius Pictor and Cincius Alimentus


Roman historians started working on Roman history in the third century BC. Fabius Pictor and Cincius Alimentus wrote histories of early Rome. The poets Naevis and Ennius created literary works based on traditions. Pictor and Alimentus wrote in Greek and Cato the Elder was the first Roman to write in Latin and his Origines contained an account of the early history of Rome and Latium, the early Republic and the First Punic War. All these works only exist in fragments or later references and are substantially lost.
