Rufi Festi Avieni Aratea [Latin]

By Rufius Festus Avienus

Rufi Festi Avieni Aratea, edited by Alfred August Bernhard Breysig, presents the Latin translation of Aratus's famous astronomical poem, offering insights into ancient understanding of the constellations and celestial phenomena. Rufius Festus Avienus, a 4th-century Latin poet, rendered Aratus's work into Latin verse, making it accessible to a wider Roman audience. This edition provides a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in classical literature, ancient astronomy, and the transmission of Greek scientific knowledge to the Roman world. The poem describes the constellations and their associated myths, blending scientific observation with poetic expression.
