Flavii Cresconii Corippi Iohannidos

Omtale

Completely in Latin, the Iohannis, an epic poem of the mid-sixth century, narrates the wars of a Roman general against Berber rebels in north Africa. The subject-matter is of considerable interest both for the history of the period and for what it reveals of the ethnography of north Africa in late antiquity. Scholars of late Latin and early Latin poetry will find this book useful.
