Publius Papinius Statius lived from the 40s to the mid-90s AD. In his teens he moved to Rome, and there, some years later, he embarked on his own career in poetry. This title presents an introduction that locates Statius in his historical and literary context, considers the importance of his "Silvae", and presents a brief history of the text.
