Aemilius Magnus Arborius

Aemilius Magnus Arborius

Aemilius Magnus Arborius was the gallo-roman author of a poem in ninety-two lines in elegaic verse, titled "Ad Nympham nimis cultam", which contains a great many expressions taken from the older poets, and bears all the traces of the artificial labour which characterizes the later Latin poetry. It was reprinted in several later anthologies. The author of it was a rhetorician at Tolosa in Gaul, the maternal uncle of Ausonius, who speaks of him with great praise, and mentions that he enjoyed the friendship of the brothers of Constantine I, when they lived at Tolosa, and was afterwards called to Constantinople to superintend the education of one of the Caesars.
