About this title

Synopsis

The Annals of Ennius (b. 239 B.C.) was the earliest Latin epic poem to be written in hexameters and had a great influence on later Latin poetry; unfortunately only fragments survive. This definitive edition contains an introduction, text with critical apparatus, and full commentary.

Book Description
