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 book contains a dozen entertaining stories in Latin verse (with new translations and commentaries by John Henderson) written by a member of the palace staff of the emperors Augustus and Tiberius. The stories included range from pointed contemporary anecdote, amusing cameos of the emperors, to legendary parables thus appealing to students, scholars, and the interested general reader.
