Sommario/riassunto

An accessible account of some of the most common metres in Roman poetry, explaining how the poets can exploit them to support supplement, or drive the meaning of the poems they carry. The study brings new insight to a range of poems, from the works of Catullus and Horace to those of Martial, Statius, and Lucilius.
