		Ausonius' life, then, whose stages are variously recalled in his works, constitutes quite a remarkable success-story in a century where ambitious curials did avidly seek actual or honorary tenure of imperial offices, which brought equestrian and, with increasing frequency, senatorial rank.
		Consequently, Ausonius would have been acting as something of a catalyst in a process favoured by a historical conjuncture when he secured high office for himself and his relatives, the vanguard, as it were, of this newly evolved and imperially approved Gallic aristocracy.
		Ausonius' own thinking about an official career is difficult to determine, for his various statements on this score were made clearly or arguably after his elevation at court, when he had achieved nobility and could magnanimously deny ever having thirsted after office.

		Edward Gibbon observed in the third volume of his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire that "the poetical fame of Ausonius condemns the taste of his age."

		Ausonius plays an important role in John Matthews' Western Aristocracies and Imperial Court (Oxford, 1975) and in Raymond Van Dam's Leadership and Community in Late Antique Gaul (Berkeley and Los Angeles, 1985) represents an entire class of aristocrats in the transition to Christian modes of authority.
		Next comes a full bibliography of works devoted to Ausonius, which supplements the brief bibliography of major studies found in the introduction and the bibliographical references scattered throughout the text.
		It is not clear that a new text of Ausonius was badly needed -- G. himself acknowledges that "Schenkl and Peiper were on the whole very accurate" (ix) -- but G. has nonetheless produced an edition improved by emendation, repunctuation, and reorganization.

		Moreover Ausonius echoes the first line of the Winstedt fragment (in quacumque domo vivit...) in the last line of his own poem (inque domo ac tecto, quo pater, oppetiit) and its last line (prospicit hoc prudens et ab illis incipit uxor.) in his first (Si qua fuit virtus, cuperet quam femina prudens).
		In combining the thematic, lexical and structural echoes Ausonius weaves a web of intertextuality, which serves both to interpret the poem to which he alludes and to invite interpretation of his own poem.
		As to the genuineness of the lines, Ausonius' testimony is more compelling than speculation of moderns and it provides the crucial first link between the day Juvenal might have composed the lines and the day a South Italian scribe copied them nearly a thousand years later.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.03.19
		Ausonius of Bordeaux was one of the shining lights on the fourth-century literary scene, and, in part because he so adeptly foregrounded his engagement with and manipulation of the classical past, many of his prose and metrical works have enjoyed a certain popularity among classicists.
		This absence is particularly noticeable in the case of Ausonius because there is substantial disagreement between the manuscripts in a number of places.
		He suggests that Ausonius is here using the river and its traditional iciness to contrast with the erotic heat of his theme.

		In 368 and 369 Ausonius accompanied the emperor on the expedition against Alemani, and received a young Swabian, Bissula, as the share of his booty.
		It is doubtful whether Ausonius wrote these, but they were at least the work of a member of the circle to which he belonged, short poems on the labours of Hercules; on the Muses; on ethical subjects (translations of Greek originals, inspired by Pythagorean philosophy).
		To appraise Ausonius justly it must be borne in mind that he represents the professor of the fourth century.

		Ausonius' epigrams form only a small proportion of his collected poems (among which the long Mosella is probably the best known and appreciated).
		Ausonius was a versatile and learned author, and in these short poems he shows his considerable talents no less than in his larger creations.
		For Ausonius then, poetry and literature have become a world apart, a separate area of learning and education, a world in which there is still life, but not much real life.

		He is Ausonius the poet, and he kept an impressively large, exquisitely maintained country estate in Bordeaux in the province of Gaul and, after his father's death, another equally impressive estate in Aquitaine.
		Though Ausonius is a Christian convert, as his "Oratio" shows, his Christianity is a cloak to be donned and removed, as needed.
		In Ausonius— and all the other "best people" of the age, so like one another it is difficult to tell them apart— we see the flaw in Gibbon's analysis of Rome's fall.

		Thirty years later Ausonius was called by Emperor Valentinian to be tutor to Gratian, who subsequently as emperor conferred on him honours including a consulship in 379.
		Ausonius' surviving works, some with deep feeling, some composed it seems for fun, some didactic, include much poetry: poems about himself and family, notably "The Daily Round"; epitaphs on heroes in the Trojan War, memorials on Roman emperors, and epigrams on various subjects; poems about famous cities and about friends and colleagues.
		The Loeb Classical Library edition of Ausonius is in two volumes; the second includes Eucharisticus ("Thanksgiving") by Paulinus Pellaeus.

	Refereed Conference Presentations :: Bret Mulligan
		Yet, the image of Ausonius as a fusty professor falters before the reality of his poetry, in particular the playful, shamelessly vulgar invective found in his (sadly, almost-unread) epigrams, no fewer than eight of which are ribald enough to cause even a jaded reader of Martial to blush.
		That the two greatest secular poets of Late Antiquity would compose poems so similar in tone and subject, yet so at odds with their general reputation, is suggestive of a more diverse literary scene than is usually recognized.
		The study of epistolarity is a natural field for scholars of late antiquity, which witnessed a renaissance of secular prose epistolography (Ausonius, Symmachus, Sidonius) and, of course, the maturation of Christian letter writing (Paulinus, Jerome, Ambrose, Augustine).

	Ausonius,a Man and a Poet
		The 'disputatio' between Ausonius and Paulinus of Nola, understood as the result of the former's hostility to militant christianism condemned the 'opera Ausonii' to oblivion during the Middle Ages.
		The whole contribution on Ausonius takes in pp.268 to 308, so that biography, in the usual, traditional sense, means less than 10% of the condensed knowledge presented by the famous German scholars.
		Ausonius himself is explicit: he gives 17 verses of the opening hymn of the 'Mosella' to the Mosella, then, becomes aware of the fact that what he told reminds him of his true home city: "the most flattering compliment he could make to the 'deutsche Lande" comments Hosius, somewhat reluctantly and gritting his teeth.

		This paper will examine the exchange of epistles and poems between Ausonius and Paulinus as a privileged place for reflection on the intertextual character of Latin literature, and in particular on the relationship between intertextuality and epistolarity.
		Questions arise, though, relating to the "epistolarity" of the correspondence, and to how and to what extent the intertextual preoccupations of the poems can be accommodated to their epistolary nature.
		On one hand, the fact that the same kind of intertextuality appears to operate in the texts of both authors directs towards eliminating generic distinctions between them and regarding them as a unit, the only way in which the intertextual dialogue can be fully grasped and appreciated in its entirety.

		Ausonius sets out the rules of the game for making a "cento,"* a poem "completely constructed from a variety of passages" of something else, and meaning something different.
		The attempt is to be, at the same time, suave and comic, to have fun with the basic text (in Ausonius' case, the work of Virgil) without being disrespectful of it.
		To do a translation of Ausonius' cento, one could put together Virgilian phrases, but the shock of recognition of those phrases in new contexts would be lost to those who didn't already know Virgil well.

		Sulpicia's erotic verse seems to have enjoyed a renaissance in late antiquity, when it is mentioned by Ausonius and other writers.
		Ausonius also speaks of Sulpicia as a moral critic; this may be a reference to the poetic Complaint attributed to her, but whose authenticity is often denied by modern scholars.
		All that survives of the poetry for which she was most famed is a fragment consisting of two lines preserved by a grammarian as a gloss on a Latin word for "linen".
