Abstract:
This article examines the letters of Ausonius – those correctly so called – with a view to elucidating their individual aims, the general conventions of Ausonius’ correspondence, and his relations with such men as Symmachus, Petronius Probus and Paulinus of Nola and less well-known friends. Attention is paid to the interpretation of various obscure passages and to the artistry, structure and wit of the poems.
