Blossius Aemilius Dracontius

Blossius Aemilius Dracontius was a Christian poet from Carthage whose work flourished in the latter part of the 5th century. Hailing from a landowning family and practicing as an advocate, his poetry often delved into spiritual and moral themes, infused with a deep Christian faith. His writings reflect a personal exploration of hardship and the search for reconciliation, characteristic of his turbulent era. Dracontius's literary approach offers a compelling glimpse into the intersection of faith, law, and personal resilience in late antiquity.
