BASSUS, SALEIUS

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 498 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BASSUS, SALEIUS ,
Roman
  epic poet; a contemporary of
Valerius
  Flaccus, in the reign of
Vespasian
 .
Quintilian
  credits him with a vigorous and poetical genius (Instit. x. 1. 90) and
Julius
  Secundus, one of the speakers in Tacitus Dialogus de Oratoribus (5; see also 9) styles him a perfect poet and most illustrious
bard
 . He was apparently overtaken by poverty, but was generously treated by
Vespasian
 , who made him a present of 500,000 sesterces. Nothing from his
works
  has been pre-served; the Laus Pisonis, which has been attributed to him, is probably by Titus
Calpurnius
  Siculus (J. Held, De Saleio Basso, 1834).
