Author Description

Excerpt from M Annaei Lucani Pharsaliae: Liber Primus Thus died Lucan; and his uncle Seneca and his father Mela4 were involved in the same ruin. His wife, the beautiful and virtuous Polla Argentaria5 to whom he had been tenderly attached, survived him many years and to her were addressed in memory of her husband some short epigrams of Martial, and the long and over-drawn panegyric of Statius.
