Tour de Florus
Like its companion piece in Dictynna 20, this article reads Florus’ fragmentary Vergilius orator an poeta as a novel form of intertextual autofiction: a self-portrait of the artist as a young narrator recounting his exilic lifestory through and as a web of literary texts of both poetry and prose. The piece examines how, in these last extant sections of the dialogue, ‘Florus’ treats his inquiring and obliging Baetican interlocutor to an autobiogra…
Florus orator an poeta ? or, To Compare Small Things with Great
Despite receiving much attention following its discovery in the nineteenth century, the captivating dialogue fragment Vergilius orator an poeta ? of Florus now lurks in the margins of Latin literary scholarship. This article, the first of a pair of studies on the work, aims to show what readers have been missing. It examines this tantalizing piece of prose as a novel form of autofiction, whereby Florus builds a sophisticated self-portrait out of …
The Rhetoric of Roman Transportation
Latin literature is crowded with portraits of Romans in transit, but despite this ubiquity scholars have been reluctant to read vehicles as significant conveyors of textual and cultural meaning. This book offers the first systematic analysis of the representation of Roman vehicles in Latin literary texts.

Goodyear's terse précis of Florus ‘The historian’—carefully decoupled from ‘The orator’ and ‘The poet’—in the Cambridge History of Classical Literature begins tellingly: ‘Florus’ outline of Roman history, ending with Augustus, was in late antiquity inaccurately described as an epitome of Livy.’ This is a…
Obviam
This chapter examines the construction of vehicular space in Latin literary texts, identifying two significant aspects of Roman transport’s representation. First is the set-piece depiction of roadway encounters, articulated as a physical run-in of wayfarers with clashing modes of transport. Although the moralizing thrust of such portraits is to inveigh against lavish transportation while extolling simple travel, their more powerful function is to…
