Claudius Claudianus (c. 370, Alexandria-died c. 404, Rome) was a celebrated classical poet in the court of Emperor Honorius. One of the last important poets of the classical tradition, his work is valuable as a historical source, and his fertility of invention and scathing invective compel attention (Brittanica).
