Florus was also an established poet.[3] He was once thought to have been "the first in order of a number of second-century African writers who exercised a considerable influence on Latin literature, and also the first of the poetae neoterici or novelli (new-fashioned poets) of Hadrian's reign, whose special characteristic was the use of lighter and graceful meters (anapaestic and iambic dimeters), which had hitherto found little favour." Since Cameron's article on the topic, however, the existence of such a school has been widely called into question, in part because the remnants of all poets supposedly involved are too scantily attested for any definitive judgment.[4] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2756.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2756.txt
