Beskrivning

The renowned Gallic poet Pacatus Drepanius journeyed to Rome in the summer of AD 389 to deliver a speech to the Emperor Theodosius; both men stood for the first time before the Roman Senators. It was a moment of high political charge. The Latin speech survives and is here presented both in the original and with facing English translation; the introduction and commentary capture the groundbreaking character of the work and set it in its historical, rhetorical and literary contexts.

Recensioner i media

'The book is very well edited and the prose is clear. Rees should be commended for his decision to include translations of quoted Latin passages from texts other than the panegyric: this greatly augments the value and accessibility of his work … In sum, this is a solid and valuable volume, which will undoubtedly become the authoritative, all-in-one reference for all things Pan. Lat. II.' Cédrik Michel, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
