Book Overview

The Works of P. Virgilius Maro (1882) is a collection of the complete works of the ancient Roman poet Virgil, also known as Publius Vergilius Maro. The book contains all of Virgil's major works, including the epic poem The Aeneid, as well as his lesser-known works such as the Eclogues and Georgics. The Aeneid tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero who travels to Italy and becomes the ancestor of the Roman people, while the Eclogues and Georgics are pastoral poems that explore the themes of love, nature, and agriculture. The book is an important literary and historical text, as Virgil's works were highly influential in shaping Latin literature and the cultural identity of ancient Rome.

Virgilius Maro includes a comprehensive introduction and notes by the editor, as well as illustrations and maps to provide context for the reader.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
