A Roman poet active in the second half of the 1st century during the early Roman Empire. His life is unknown. He is known as the author of the heroic epic poem "Argonautica," and in 1416, Poggio Bracciolini of Florence discovered a copy of it at the Abbey of San Gall. However, the work stops at the scene in Book 8, where Medea's brother Absyrtus pursues the Argo, and the rest of the book remains undiscovered. The work is based on the Alexandrian epic poem of the same name by Apollonius (of Rhodes), but rather than simply imitating it, he puts effort into describing the characters' personalities and expressing their emotions, and in particular, the heroic image of Jason far surpasses that of Apollonius.

1世紀後半に活躍したローマ帝政初期の詩人。生涯は不詳。英雄叙事詩《アルゴナウティカ》の作者として知られ,1416年にフィレンツェのポッジョ・ブラッチョリーニが,サン・ガル寺院でその写本を発見した。しかし第8巻メデア(メデイア)の兄アプシュルトゥス(アプシュルトス)がアルゴー船を追跡する場面で中断しており,以下は未発見である。アレクサンドリア期のアポロニオス(ロドスの)の同名の叙事詩を基にした作品であるが,模倣に終始せず,登場人物の性格描写,情感の表出に力を注ぎ,とくにイアソンの英雄像はアポロニオスをはるかにしのぐものとなっている。
