Phaedri Augusti Liberti Fabularum Aesopiarum Libri Quinque presents the fables of Phaedrus, a Roman fabulist of the 1st century AD. This edition, edited by Alexander Cunningham, also includes the sentences of Publius Syrus and other ancient writers.

His work provides valuable insights into Roman society and culture, reflecting themes of power, justice, and human nature. The fables, written in simple yet elegant Latin, have ensured Phaedrus's enduring appeal to students and scholars of classical literature. This collection offers a window into the ancient world, showcasing the wit and wisdom of its literary figures.
