	Claudian - Wikipedia
		Claudian stammte wahrscheinlich aus dem ägyptischen Alexandria und wuchs dort zweisprachig (griechisch-lateinisch) auf.
		Nach dem Erfolg, den Claudian mit diesem Gedicht hatte, trat er als Hofdichter in den Dienst des weströmischen Kaisers Honorius und seines vandalischen Heermeisters Flavius Stilicho.
		Neben den zeitgeschichtichen Gedichten sind von Claudian zahlreiche kleinere Gelegenheitsgedichte ("carmina minora") sowie sein mythologisches Epos "De raptu Proserpinae" ("Der Raub der Proserpina") erhalten, das vom Raub der Demeter-Tochter Persephone (lat.

		The general picture of Claudian given by Gruzelier is by and large a fairly traditional one: he is seen as 'a poet with a sharp mind, not a great one' (p.
		If the general critical attitude shown to Claudian seems broadly conservative, then that is assuredly the result of deliberate choice and decisiveness on Gruzelier's part: she is a woman with, to say the least, a mind of her own.
		Given Claudian's fondness for portents these two passages should perhaps be taken together as indicating an intention to follow, in a projected but unfinished part of the poem, one of the accounts which attributed children to the union of Proserpina and Pluto.

	Julio-Claudian dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tiberius was born a Claudian but, like Augustus before him, became a Julian upon his adoption.
		The third emperor, Caligula, however, had both Julian and Claudian ancestry being a Julio-Claudian, and was also a direct blood great-grandson of Augustus.
		The fourth emperor Claudius was not a Julian, but had Claudian blood.

		The argument can be made, however, that Claudian's use of Lucan's De bello civili goes well beyond verbal borrowing for rhetorical effect and is, in fact, a conscious modeling of structure, theme, and language--a modeling which the poet occasionally pursues at the cost of fact and logic.
		Claudian too, while framing his Allecto and Megaera in Vergilian and Ovidian terms, follows Lucan in attributing the evil that is Rufinus to the infernal powers.
		Thus, Claudian's catalog of barbarian troops serves exactly the same structural and thematic purpose as the one in B.C., and we can discern Lucanian influence on the rhetoric and shaping of speeches, as indicated by a comparison of Laelius's speech with that of the army to Stilicho at IR 2.228-246.

	Claudian
		Claudian is considered by many to have been the last great poet of the ancient world.
		Therefore, it is equally possible that this is just 'poet's language' - Claudian may simply have used a hyperbole to indicate that Stilicho drew his reinforcements from every possible corner of the empire, 'even as far away as the furthest Britons'.
		Claudian's colourful style in these poems can hardly be seem as a source, since Claudian's panegyrics give us only a vague notion of what was going on in Britain.

		Claudian himself was very likely a heathen, since his poems obviously reveal pagan beliefs, while Christianity was only paid minimal lip-service; but perhaps his paganism was only a ploy to win senatorial favor.
		Claudian was raised to a state of prominence in the court of the emperor Honorius by writing panegyrics and propagandist poems on his behalf; also, Claudian wrote several poems eulogizing the Germanic general Stilicho and the consuls Probinus, Olybrius, and Manilus.
		Claudian's praise of the great general Stilicho and the emperor Theodosius may be totally justifiable, however, he never blushes to praise the degenerate weakling of an emperor Honorius, whose absolute lack of traditional Roman virtue, proved costly to the Empire.

		Claudian does not emphasize the withering of vegetation, and the DRP closes, unsatisfyingly, with Demeter unaware of her daughter's precise fate.
		Claudian alludes to the procession of initiates to Demeter's shrine at Eleusis, and to the impression made upon them as they stand in the dark watching light emerge from the torch-lit interior.
		Claudian's preface compares the progress of the world's first mariner to that of the poet—a double for Claudian himself--who gradually advances from less ambitious enterprises to a final culmination, embodied by the DRP.

		Claudian, (c.370-404 A.D.) sometimes described as the last poet of Imperial Rome, came to prominence in the late fourth century as the court poet of the emperor Honorius.
		Stylistically, Claudian wrote in the epic tradition of Vergil, Lucan and Statius but, with the exception of the mythological de Raptu Proserpinae, his subject matter was contemporary.
		Most of Claudian’s poetry was written to honour the emperor Honorius and his court or to attack the enemies of emperor and empire.

		As a propagandist Claudian offers unique illumination of the intrigues inside and between the rival courts of Milan and Constantinople in the decisive years following the death of Theodosius the Great.
		Though a Greek by birth, Claudian revived Latin poetry with a flair not seen since the Silver Age - and not to be seen again.
		This book studies Claudian's political and propagandist techniques, his accounts of Stilico's campaigns and rivals, his debt to Greek rhetorical theory and contemporary poetry, his culture, attitudes to Rome and its problems and, not least, his position as a pagan at a Christian court.

		The quintessentially Roman institution of the consulate saw one eunuch, Eutropius, entered into and then erased fromits rolls in A.D. Claudian, poet of the western imperial court, vilified Eutropius’ elevation and gloated over his fall in two books of vivid invective.
		Through his appropriation of Juvenalian language, Claudian appropriates Juvenal’s authority for Roman outrage against perversions of Roman mores, and renews it in his own age.
