The Elegies Of Maximianus (1900) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169253872)

The Elegies of Maximianus is a collection of elegiac poems written by the Latin poet Maximianus in the 6th century AD. The poems are divided into three books and deal with themes such as love, sex, and death. The first book focuses on the poet's love for his mistress, while the second book deals with the pain of separation and the inevitability of death. The third book is a series of poems addressed to various people, including the emperor Justinian and his wife, Theodora. The poems are written in a simple and direct style, with a focus on emotions and personal experience. The work was rediscovered in the 16th century and has since been recognized as an important example of late Latin poetry.
