Sui rapporti fra il cosiddetto <i>Poema ultimum</i> (<i>CSEL</i> 30 Hartel) e il <i>Carmen ad senatorem</i> (<i>CSEL</i> 23 Peiper)

subject

description

An in-depth metrical and stylistic study of the so called Poema ultimum ( CSEL 30 Hartel) and of the Carmen ad senatorem ( CSEL 23 Peiper) wants to prove, against recent researches, that the two poems, even though they share the same formal choices and postulate on the thematic area, a direct conctat, are no doubt the works of two different poets. Such a close link, might be explained by the fact that the author of the p. ult. is the same person as the senator, whom the other poem is addressed to.
