This book expands our knowledge of ancient Rome's literary tradition through fragments of poetry preceding the development of literary Latin in the 3rd century BC. These relics of a distant age, many of which were discovered in recent times, offer a unique window into the history of Latin literature, religion, and culture. The author explores themes ranging from Roman myth to warfare, religious ritual to politics. They also examine how the form of these literary works evolved over time, transitioning from Saturnian and other traditional meters toward the sophisticated hexameters and other Greek-influenced forms of the later Republic. Through these fascinating fragments, the author illuminates the earliest stages of Roman literature, revealing its surprising richness and diversity.
