Description

A substantial collection of approximately 30-40 vintage small-format classical texts, predominantly Latin and Roman literature. The lot includes works by authors such as Virgil, Horace, Ovid, Cicero, and Caesar, often in specific editions and published by institutions such as Oxford at the Clarendon Press and Macmillan. Titles visible include 'Journey to Hesperia', 'Ovid Metamorphoses', 'Cicero on Himself', 'Caesar's Gallic War', 'Horace Select Odes', 'Caesar's Invasions of Britain', 'Virgil Aeneid', 'Selections from Five Roman Poets', and 'Latin Exercises on Latin Models'. They will look fantastic on a shelf!
