Quintus Claudius Quadrigarius, Roman annalist, wrote a history, in at least twenty-three books, which began with the conquest of Rome by the Gauls and went on to the death of Sulla or perhaps later.
He was freely used Livy in part of his work (from the sixth book onwards). A big fragment is preserved in Aulus Gellius (ix. 13), giving an account of the single combat between Manlius Torquatus and Gaul. His language was antiquated and his style dry, but work was considered important.
