EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Marcus Annaeus Lucanus, the renowned Roman poet, born in Cordoba, Spain, around 39 AD. Lucan is best known for being the author of the sole extant work in Latin literature that focuses on the Roman Civil War between Julius Caesar and Gnaeus Pompey Magnus. His epic poem, titled "Pharsalia," offers a unique perspective on this pivotal period in Roman history. Lucan's poetic masterpiece, Pharsalia, is a powerful and moving account of the civil war, filled with vivid descriptions, dramatic characterizations, and intricate narrative. The poem's 12 books explore the motivations, actions, and consequences of the conflict, providing a complex and nuanced understanding of the historical events. Marcus Annaeus Lucanus was born into a wealthy and influential family, which gave him access to the highest echelons of Roman society. However, his life was cut short when he was exiled and eventually committed suicide in 65 AD, likely due to his controversial poetry and political connections. Despite his tragic end, Lucan's Pharsalia remains an essential work in the study of Roman history and literature. Its enduring influence can be seen in the works of later poets, such as Virgil, Ovid, and Dante Alighieri, who were inspired by Lucan's innovative style and profound insights into the human condition. This image serves as a poignant reminder of Lucan's significant contributions to the literary world and our understanding of Roman history.
