{"product_id":"the-works-of-ausonius","title":"The Works of Ausonius","description":"\u003cp\u003eAusonius of Bordeaux, poet, professor, and statesman, whose long life almost spanned the fourth century AD, lived at a time of great cultural and political change, and was for many years, as an imperial courtier, closely involved in the administration of the Roman Empire. A prolific and original writer, Ausonius covers an astonishing stylistic range in his many and varied poems, from an elaborate description of the river Moselle to after-dinner diversions, from scurrilous epigrams to the stately verses in which he proclaims his Christian beliefs or his eminence as consul. This revised text of Ausonius' complete works, with over a hundred new emendations, is followed by a detailed commentary. Four introductory chapters consider the nature of Ausonius' poetry, his life and career, his influence, and the manuscripts of his works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Decimus Magnus Ausonius","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43642924793917,"sku":"9780198144632","price":831.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780198144632.jpg?v=1789677454","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/the-works-of-ausonius","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
