C. Valerii Cabulli, Albi Tibulli, Et Sexti Aurelii Propertii Casta Carmina

By C. Valerius CABULLUS

This volume brings together the collected works of three of Rome's most celebrated elegiac poets: Catullus, Tibullus, and Propertius. Known for their intensely personal and often passionate verses, these poets offer a window into the emotional and social life of the late Roman Republic and early Empire.

C. Valerius Catullus, famous for his sophisticated and often scandalous short poems, explores themes of love, loss, and betrayal with unparalleled directness. Albius Tibullus, in contrast, writes with a gentle melancholy, idealizing rural life and romantic love. Sextus Aurelius Propertius is known for his complex and learned style, delving into the intricacies of love and art with a distinctly intellectual approach.

This collection, titled "C. Valerii Cabulli, Albi Tibulli, Et Sexti Aurelii Propertii Casta Carmina," offers readers a comprehensive view of Roman elegy, showcasing the diverse voices and enduring appeal of these three masters of the genre. It remains a cornerstone of classical literature, studied and appreciated for its lyrical beauty and historical significance.
