POLITICAL HISTORY OF PARTHIA

Ovid, besides carrying on the literary tradition set up at an earlier date,[1] was greatly interested in the expedition of Gaius to Armenia.[2] Frequent references to Hyrcanian dogs in the work of Grattius on those animals show that they do not belong to the realm of legend but were in actual use.[3] Seneca[4] and Lucan[5] still employ the standard phrases; in the case of Silius Italicus[6] there seems to be little beyond the mere repetition of stock phrases. Statius, on the other hand, was a close friend of Abascantius, secretary to Domitian, and his writings abound in references
