This volume collects twenty-four articles on the history and literature of the Late Roman West written over a period of more than fifty years, a companion to Wandering Poets and other Essays on Late Greek Literature and Philosophy (Oxford 2015). A third volume will collect my art historical and archaeological papers. A number of revisions, additions and (occasional) deletions have been made, but no attempt to update systematically. Ch 8 and 15, on Plyny’s letters and Martianus Capella, have been completely rewritten.
