Propertius

SEXTUS AURELIUS, a Roman poet; born in Melvina, about 52 в. c. Nothing more of his life is known than that, after the end of the civil war, he found a patron at Rome, in Mæcenas, through whom he obtained PROPERTY TAX the favor of the emperor. His life appears to have been a series of amours, and his "elegies" are expressions of his passion.
