Titus Calpurnius Siculus (c. 30–c. 80 A.D.)

Calpurnius Siculus, Titus (kal-pėr’ni-us sik’u-lus). A Roman poet; born about 30 A.D.; died about 80 A.D. He appears toward the commencement of Nero’s reign with seven eclogues, palpable imitations of Virgil and of Theocritus, and conceived in a spirit of servile adulation of his imperial master.
