This book covers a wide range of subjects from Latin literature and
language to textual history and criticism. E. D. Francis gives a
history of the words prae and pro, as adverb, preposition and
prefix. H. D. Jocelyn surveys the distribution and differing uses
of quotations from Greek poetry in Cicero's prose writings and D.
F. S. Thomson takes a fresh look at the manuscript tradition of
Catullus. The remaining six articles deal with later authors and
are divided equally between the poets and the historians: a reading
of Horace's Roman Odes and their relation to the other odes in
which he addressed the Roman people; a demonstration of the
internal coherence of a Tibullan elegy and two Juvenal satires; a
review of disputed readings in the OCT of Livy IX; an analysis of
the structure of the prologues to the Annals, Histories and
Agricola to cast light on Tacitus' intentions; and a critical
review of Tacitus' portrait of Germanicus, generally viewed in a
sympathetic light but debated by D. O. Ross.
