Layers of Loyalty: Latin Panegyric 289 - 307

By Roger Rees

This is the first monograph in English on the Panegyrici Latini, and the first in any language dedicated to the five speeches of praise from 289-307. The study considers how the orators justified, accommodated, and projected these changes and related them to the local concerns of the people of
Northern Gaul. Detailed analyses of the speeches highlight the literary flair and diplomatic acumen their orators required.
