The list contains Roman authors who wrote works in Latin those only writing in Greek have been excluded. At the end of the list, after the last century, you will also find a category called “Unknown date.” If no exact years are known, but known contemporaries are, the author has been sorted in close vicinity of said contemporary. If only a vague century for the author’s active years is known, he/she has been sorted under that century. If no birth year is known, but a year of death is, the author has been sorted after that in relation to other authors. The authors are, as far as possible, arranged after their birth year. The list is divided into centuries to make it easier to navigate. We’ve included a few short sentences about each author to give you a quick overview of who they were and what they wrote. Here we have gathered a list, a chronology, of Roman authors who wrote in Latin from the 3rd century B.C.
