Number Of Pages: 400

Release Date: 1929-01-01

Details: A very short introduction to Roman history.

Florus, born apparently in Africa, lived in Spain and in Rome during Hadrian's time. He wrote, in succinct rhetorical style, a summary of Roman history (especially wars) in two books in order to show the early greatness and subsequent decline of Roman morals. It is based chiefly on Livy. Florus' Epitome was perhaps planned to reach his own times, but the extant work ends with Augustus' reign. Florus provides a useful rapid sketch of Roman military history.

Poetry by Florus is also available in the Loeb Classical Library, in Volume II of Minor Latin Poets (LCL 434).
