这篇论文主要探讨了拉丁诗人与他们在罗马富有的朋友之间的关系，它有一个温和的论战目的。我将开始注意到当人们根据“赞助人”和“赞助人”这样的概念来处理这个问题时所产生的一些误解。然后，我将说明诗人和他们的伟大朋友是按照一种典型的罗马礼仪准则行事的，并将论证这种熟悉的友谊准则充分解释了罗马社会对诗人的待遇。在第二部分中，我将描述诗人通过将自己与上层阶级的生活联系起来而寻求的社会可见性，文学支持和物质支持，我将试图将这些目标与许多罗马诗人似乎拥有的马术地位联系起来。
This paper deals with the relationship between Latin poets and their wealthy friends at Rome, and it has a mildly polemical aim. I will begin by noticing some embarrassments which arise when one approaches the subject in the light of conceptions like ‘patronage’ and ‘patron’. Then I will show that poets and their great friends conducted themselves according to a characteristically Roman code of manners, and will argue that this familiar code of amicitia fully explains the treatment of poets in Roman society. In part two I will describe the advantages—social visibility, literary backing, and material support—which poets sought by associating themselves with the life of the upper classes, and I will try to connect these objectives with the equestrian status which so many Roman poets seem to have held.
