The Cynthia of Propertius is a collection of elegies by the Roman poet Sextus Propertius. This book, published in 1899, contains the first book of Propertius' elegies, which are dedicated to his lover, Cynthia. The elegies explore themes of love, desire, and the pain of separation. They also depict the social and political climate of Rome during the reign of Augustus. The poems are written in a sophisticated and complex style, with rich imagery and metaphors. The Cynthia of Propertius is a significant work of Roman poetry and an important contribution to the genre of elegy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
