Maximianus (poet)
Maximianus or Maximian (sometimes referred to as Maximianus Etruscus) was a Latin elegiac poet of the 6th century, who has been called "in some sort, the last of the Roman poets".〔F. J. E. Raby, ''A History of Secular Latin Poetry in the Middle Ages'' (Oxford: Oxford UP, 1934), vol. 1, p. 125.〕
==Life==
Nothing is known of Maximianus's life save what can be inferred from his poetry. In it, he claims Etruscan descent (''me … Etruscae gentis alumnum'' ()); describes his youth and manhood, including his friendship with Boethius,〔Thus leading most scholars to date his work roughly to the middle of the sixth century.〕 whom he apostrophizes as the "greatest investigator of great matters" (''magnarum scrutator maxime rerum'' ()); and says that, already aged, he was sent as an ambassador to the emperor's court at Constantinople (5.1–4). Some scholars, however, have maintained that the poetry represents the utterances of one or more personas and that nothing therein, including the name Maximianus, is to be taken as reliable information about the poet.〔For instance, Richard Webster in his edition ''(The Elegies of Maximianus )'' (Princeton: Princeton, 1900), pp. 7–11.〕
