See also:JULIUS See also:FLORUS , poet, orator, and jurist of the Augustan See also:age . His name has been immortalized by See also:Horace, who dedicated to him two of his Epistles (i . 3; ii . 2), from which it would appear that he composed lyrics of a See also:light, agreeable See also:kind . The statement of Porphyrion, the old commentator on Horace, that See also:Florus himself wrote satires, is probably erroneous, but he may have edited selections from the earlier satirists (See also:Ennius, See also:Lucilius, See also:Varro) .

He has been variously identified with See also:Julius Florus, a distinguished orator and See also:uncle of Julius See also:Secundus, an intimate friend of See also:Quintilian (Instil. x . 3, 13); with the See also:leader of an insurrectionof the Treviri (See also:Tacitus, See also:Ann. iii . 40); with the Postumus of Horace (Odes, ii . 14) and even with the historian Florus . |
