A fourth century Christian poet, Prudentius was the author of ‘Psychomachia’, the first allegorical poem of European literature. His unique combination of Christianity and classical culture resulted in Prudentius becoming one of the most popular authors of the medieval period, regarded as the equal of Horace and Statius as late as the fourteenth century.
