Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of the ancient Roman poem Laus Pisonis (Praise to Piso) – the work of an anonymous ancient Roman author of the 1st century AD. The panegyric in praise of a certain man (presumably Gaius Calpurnius Piso, leader of the conspiracy against Nero in 65 AD) is an interesting piece of Classical Latin. The article analyzes the Latin text, the history of its creation, structure, artistic features, presents a brief historiography, provides a translation with commentary on places that are difficult to interpret. This is the first publication of the translation of the poem into Russian.

KeywordsPiso, praise, panegyric, Piso's conspiracy, Gaius Calpurnius Piso, latrunculi, ludus pilae, ludus latrunculorum.
