{"product_id":"9780674994782","title":"Minor Latin Poets, Volume II : Florus. Hadrian. Nemesianus. Reposianus. Tiberianus. Dicta Catonis. Phoenix. Avianus. Rutilius Namatianus. Others by Arnold M. Duff","description":"A miscellany of mostly imperial verse.   This  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 BC and ending with the graphic and charming poem of  Rutilius Namatianus recording a sea voyage from Rome to Gaul in AD 416. 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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56293977882997,"sku":"9780674994782","price":24.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780674994782.jpg?v=1762760888","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780674994782","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
