Latin Anthology information


The Latin Anthology is a compilation of Latin verses from the era of Ennius (c. 239 – c. 169 BC, often considered the father of Roman poetry) up to around 1000 AD. This collection was mainly compiled by Pieter Burmann the Younger (1713 – 1778).

While the Greek Anthology was first compiled by the ancient Greek poet, Meleager of Gadara in the first century BC, the ancient Romans did not compile their own Latin Anthology. However, there were volumes of epigrams, such as those compiled by Martial between 95 and 98. There were also compilations of brief sententiae from authors such as Publilius Syrus (fl. 85–43 BC), along with smaller groupings of verse on specialized subjects, such as the Priapeia (circa 100).
