Claudian was one of the last great Latin poets of the classical tradition, writing in the fourth century A.D. This simplified text of his poem, De Raptu Prosperpinae, has a facing-page translation to make the work more accessible to non-specialists.

In addition to an incisive commentary, the book includes a text designed to simplify Hall's apparatus.
