Plinio y Calpurnia, un matrimonio elegíaco

What is it about?

This paper provides an advance of the philological commentary on the "Cycle of Calpurnia" (Epist. 6, 4 and 7; 7, 5) in the letters of Pliny the Younger, focusing on Epist. 6, 4 in this occasion. The author behaves like a real elegiac lover and a husband in love, because the letters he writes to his wife Calpurnia are much better understood through the lexicon and the amatory motifs of the "elegia lieta".
