In Roman History in Roman poetry (the 19th volume of PLLS) distinguished international scholars explore aspects of how historical and historiographical concerns were represented in or affected by Roman poetry. The essays, ranging chronologically from Roman pre-history through the late Republic and early Empire up to the Flavian age, look at the topic in Naevius, Ennius, Lucretius, Virgil, Horace, Propertius, Lucan, and Silius Italicus, with a concluding paper on the female poet Sulpicia, commenting circumspectly on the politics of the reign of Domitian.
