"The renowned Gallic poet Pacatus Drepanius journeyed to Rome in the summer of AD 389 to deliver a speech to the Emperor Theodosius; both men stood for the first time before the Roman Senators. It was a moment of high political charge. The Latin speech survives and is here presented both in the original and with facing English translation; the introduction and commentary capture the groundbreaking character of the work and set it in its historical, rhetorical and literary contexts. Roger Rees is a Professor of Classics at the University of St Andrews. He is a leading authority on the Latin oratorical collection known as the XII Panegyrici Latini. His publications include Layers of Loyalty in Latin Panegyric 289-307 (2002) and Latin Panegyric (ed., 2012)"-- Provided by publisher.
