Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This is the second volume of an anthology of Latin poetry. The
two-volume anthology covers a period of four and a half centuries,
beginning with the work of the mime-writer Publilius Syrus, who
flourished ca. 45 BCE, and ending with the graphic and charming
poem of Rutilius Namatianus recording a sea voyage from Rome to
Gaul in 416 CE. A wide variety of theme gives interest to the
poems: hunting in a poem of Grattius; an inquiry into the causes of
volcanic activity by the author of "Aetna"; pastoral poems by
Calpurnius Siculus and by Nemesianus; fables by Avianus; a
collection of "Dicta," moral sayings, as if by the elder Cato;
eulogy in "Laus Pisonis"; and the legend of the "Phoenix," a poem
of the fourth century. Other poets complete the work.
Florus, born apparently in Africa, lived in Spain and in Rome in
Hadrian's time. He wrote, in brief pointed rhetorical style, a
summary of Roman history (especially wars) in two books in order to
show the greatness and decline of Roman morals. It is based chiefly
on Livy. It was perhaps planned to reach his own times, but the
extant work ends with Augustus's reign (30 BCE-14 CE). This Epitome
is a useful rapid sketch of Roman military history.
Poetry by Florus is also available in the Loeb Classical
Library, in "Minor Latin Poets, Volume II."
