Description
Horace's earliest published works, Carmina, comprise a collection of seventeen poems in various versions of the iambus metre. This edition provides a comprehensive introduction and commentary that explores Horace's relationship with his models and the technical skill of his verse.
The poems are set against the backdrop of Rome's greatest crisis, the Civil War that led to the establishment of the Principate. A detailed interpretation of these works offers valuable insights into their literary and historical context.
