Linda Jones Hall: Hall, L: Poems of Optatian, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

"For the first time, the poems and accompanying letters of Publilius Optatianus Porfyrius (Optatian) are published here with a translation and detailed commentary, along with a full introduction to Optatian's work during this period. Optatian was sent into exile by Constantine sometime after the Emperor's ascent to power in Rome in 313 AD. Hoping to receive pardon, Optatian sent a gift of probably twenty design poems to Constantine around the time of the ruler's twentieth anniversary (325 / 326 AD)"--
