Description

Ausonius of Bordeaux, poet, professor, and statesman, lived during the Fourth Century A.D, a time of great cultural and political change. As an imperial courtier, he was closely involved in the administration of the Roman Empire. A prolific and original poet, Ausonius covered an astonishing stylistic range in his many and varied poems. This revised text of his complete works offers over 100 new emendations, and includes detailed commentary as well as four introductory chapters that consider the nature of Ausonius' poetry, his life and career, his influence, and the manuscripts of his works.
