Description
Book SynopsisA comprehensive new edition, including introduction, text with apparatus criticus, and commentary, of the Latin text of the first book of Lucan's De Bello Civili, an important and influential epic poem written in the 60s AD, which recounts the civil war between Julius Caesar and Pompey in the years 49-45 BC.
Trade Reviewthis edition is likely to be a very valuable resource to the student and scholar of Lucan (and of post-Augustan epic) for many years to come. * Adam Marshall, Trinity College Dublin *
this is a very impressive and useful commentary on a very important book of Roman epic poetry, one that was sorely needed. I have little doubt that it will become the standard commentary on BC I and that it will hold that distinction for quite some time. * Tim Stover, Journal of Roman Studies *
