HISTORICVS DISSERTISSIMVS, but What Else? Questions Regarding the Literary Work of Virius Nicomachus Flavianus
2012
Abstract
The literary work of Virius Nicomachus Flavianus has been completely lost and the fragmentary information we have provoke controversies. Attempts had also been made by modern scholars at identifying Flavian as the author of some of the preserved literary works, and a name of one 'Flavianus', the author of some anecdotal works, had been noticed while going through medieval manuscripts.
At the end of the paper the question is touched on of the misfortune possibly brought upon Flavian's writings by the damnatio memoriae cast upon him after Frigidus.
