The first century BC is represented by Lucretius and Catullus, the Augustan era by Virgil, Horace and Ovid, and the Silver age by Juvenal and Martial. Passages are chosen for their own intrinsic interest - Ovid on Romulus and Remus, Juvenal on the dangers of Rome at night, the sheild of Aeneas from Virgil's \u003ci\u003eAeneid VIII\u003c\/i\u003e; they cover a wide variety of genres and styles - both \u003ci\u003eSatires\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOdes\u003c\/i\u003e of Horace, elegiacs from the \u003ci\u003eFasti \u003c\/i\u003eand hexameters from the \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e of Ovid. There are extensive notes on language and content, an introduction on metre and a full vocabulary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eE.C.
