Flaccus,

Flaccus, C. VALERIUS, a Roman poet, who flourished in the time of Vespasian, but of whose life nothing is known. He wrote the Argonautica, an unfinished epic poem, a good example of learned mediocrity rather than of genuine inspiration. The chief editions are those of Thilo (1863) and C. Schenkl (1871). An English metrical translation was published by Nicholas Whyte in 1565. See a Study by Summers (1894).
