To mark the sixtieth year of this rich career, thirteen scholars from eight countries have produced a volume of essays honouring the man who was to some of them a teacher, to others a collaborator, to all a friend and model.

Proceedings of the twenty-first international conference on Propertius, Assisi - Cannara, 30 May - 1 June 2016. The 2016 conference's aim was to place Propertius in context. The papers focused on the compatibility between the choice of the elegiac form and the political framework, with special emphasis on Propertius' relationship to Tullus before his approach to Maecenas and the more direct contact with Augustus subsequent to Maecenas' removal.
