La tradition nous a transmis, sous le titre d'Epitome de Tito Livio un texte attribue a Lucius Florus relatant l'histoire du peuple romain de Romulus a Cesar Auguste. L'auteur, dont nous ne savons rien, si ce n'est qu'il vecut sous Trajan, entend faire l'eloge de Rome en comparant le developpement de la Ville aux quatre ages de l'homme. Loin d'etre un simple manuel, le texte a une ambition morale: l'expose des guerres civiles cherche a montrer la progression de ces conflits vers une corruption de plus en plus grande. Il contient en outre quelques morceaux de bravoure, tel le recit de la bataille d'Actium ou la description du combat entre partisans de Cesar et partisans de Pompee, et frappe par la precision et l'importance des indications geographiques.
La presente edition rassemble en deux volumes l'Epitome ainsi que plusieurs textes contenus dans les manuscrits de Florus, les fragments du Vergilius orator an poeta?, des Poemes et des Lettres. La riche introduction relate la tradition manuscrite, particulierement complexe, et fait le point sur les problemes qui en decoulent, comme l'ordre et la division. Une etude du style de Florus est fournie et illustree par un tableau des clausules et une analyse des cadences. De judicieuses pistes de lecture, notamment quant aux liens avec Tite Live dont Florus s'inspire, mais qu'il ne resume pas, sont proposees. Des notes accompagnent la lecture et sont approfondies en fin d'ouvrage par des notes complementaires. Le tome I contient en outre un precieux stemma, tandis que le tome II est enrichi d'un appendice traitant de l'identite de l'auteur ainsi que d'un Index Nominum.
