“He how always desires is always poor.”

– Claudian

 

Claudian was a 4^th-century B.C. poet who wrote poetry and speeches specifically for Roman Emperor Honorius on mythology and early Roman wars.

• ‘In Rufinum’ (a letter against Byzantine consul Rufinus)
• ‘De Bello Gildonico’ (essay on the Gildonic Revolt)
• ‘Epithalamium de Nuptiis Honorii’ (on the marriage of Honorius and Maria)
• ‘Panegyrics’
• ‘In Eutropium’ (a letter against consul Eutropius)
• ‘De Bello Gothico’ (essay on the Gothic War of 402BC)’
• Various epigrams
• ‘De raptu Prosperpinae’ (an epic in 3 books which was never completed)
