About This Book

The volume collects dramatic poetry and translations, opening with a Latin‑styled comedy partly derived from Terence that stages domestic scenes of romantic entanglement, paternal opposition, and a young man’s exile, written for performance with scene work and comic exchanges. A second, longer dramatic narrative dramatizes the closing episodes of an imperial reign, following political intrigue, conspiratorial plotting, and the downfall of an eminent moralist; appended materials include editorial notes and a list of previous editions to clarify sources and variants.
