Virgil (70-19 B.C) - The most famous Roman poet, his works were thought to
be classics of Latin literature even during his lifetime. Virgil gives a
living voice to the glory and history of ancient Rome and all of Italy.
Georgics (36-29 B.C.) - A poem in four books on the subject of farm life.
Meant to be instructions in agriculture, the "Georgics" goes beyond that
simple intention to become a profound and eloquent work.
