Synopsis
Excerpt from Lucius Annaeus Florus Epitome of Roman History: Cornelius Nepos
Remarkably little is known of the author of the Epitome even his correct name is quite uncertain. Most recent editors give him the name of L. Annaeus Florus, which is found in the title of the work in the Codex Palatinus 894, rejecting the name Julius Florus, which occurs in the title of the Codex Bambergensis, on the grounds that the absence of any praenomen is suspicious and that the name Julius may well be due to a corruption.1 It is not impossible, however, that none of the titles given in the mss. Are correct, and that the author Of the Epitome is identical with the P. Annias F lorus who was a poet and a friend Of Hadrian (spartianus, Hadr. 16) and author of the Dialogue V ergzlius orator an poeta, part of the introduction of which has been preserved in a ms. At Brussels and is appended to the editions Of Halm and Rossbach. He may have been a relative of Seneca, Lucan and Pomponius Mela. The Brussels fragment gives us some bio graphical detail about its author. He was born, we are told, in Africa and as a boy took part at Rome under Domitian in the Capitoline Competition, but was unsuccessful owing to favouritism; in disgust at.
