The new critical edition of 'Carmina Profana' by Dracontius (approx. 480-510 CE) in the 'Bibliotheca Teubneriana' replaces F. Vollmer's 1914 edition (PLM Vol. 5, P. 108-237). Numerous textual improvements cast a new light on the poetic works. They offer insight on the late bloom of Carthagean culture during Vandal rule. Of particular interest are the idiosyncratically formed short epics, Hylas, Helena, Medea, and Orestes.
