The book examines the structure of the Latin hexameter. Focused on the six great epics from the Augustinian and Flavian periods, it applies statistical methods to investigate basic phenomena, including issues of word boundaries, punctuation, breaks, and the distribution of dactyls and spondees. Moreover, using quantitative methods, the author determines and compares the versification styles of the texts and authors.
