Well you know, with the thing about Justin, it seems that one can refer to Monarchians or Modalist monarchaisn and Trinitarians, but literary speaking it does not seem there was any full developed doctrine that resembles either exactly until later.
BTW I have heard refer to Modalist Monarchism as a Trinitarian heresy and then there is Economic Trinitarianism. In fact there were many Trinitarian heresies throughout the centuries. Nestorius was a Trinitarian. The Monophysite controversy was Trinitiarian as far as still seeing three persons in the godhead
