Book Overview
This comprehensive volume, "Opera Omnis," presents the complete works of Decimus Magnus Ausonius, a renowned poet and rhetorician of 4th-century Roman Gaul. Ausonius's writings offer a fascinating glimpse into the twilight of the Roman Empire, reflecting the cultural and intellectual life of his time. Included are his celebrated poems, such as the "Mosella," a vivid description of the Moselle River valley, as well as epigrams, epitaphs, and verse letters that reveal his personal life and relationships with prominent figures.
Ausonius's works provide invaluable insights into the literary tastes and educational practices of late antiquity. His elegant Latin style and classical allusions demonstrate the enduring influence of classical tradition in a changing world. "Opera Omnis" is an essential resource for scholars and students of Roman history, Latin literature, and the history of education, preserving the legacy of a poet who skillfully navigated the transition from the classical world to the early Middle Ages.
