Description

A comprehensive collection of imperial verse spans over four and a half centuries, from the work of mime-writer Publilius Syrus to the poem of Rutilius Namatianus recording his sea voyage from Rome to Gaul in AD 416. This two-volume anthology features a diverse range of themes, including hunting, volcanic activity, pastoral poems, fables, moral sayings, eulogies, and legendary tales such as the Phoenix. The poems included in this work showcase the varied interests and concerns of ancient Roman writers, offering insights into their world and culture. With contributions from multiple poets, each with their own unique voice and perspective, this anthology provides a fascinating glimpse into the literary heritage of ancient Rome. Hardcover edition published by Harvard University Press in 1982, featuring 432 pages.
