"Damasus of Rome makes available in English the epigraphic poetry of Damasus, bishop
of Rome from 366 to 384. A full introduction situates Damasus in his times by considering
his troubled election and the issues that dominated Rome and his papacy. The introduction
also sets the poems within the broader sweep of the history of epigraphic poetry at
Rome and relates them both to the development of the Christian catacombs and to the
emergence of the cults of the Roman saints. Modern scholarship readily acknowledges
that the years of Damasus' episcopacy were pivotal ones in the transformation of Rome
into a late antique Christian city. His poetry, much of it inscribed at the suburban
tombs of the Roman saints and martyrs, played an incalculable but significant role
in the redefinition of both Roman and Christian identity in this remarkable age."--Back
