He was a popular poet at the court of the Roman emperor Carus ( Vopiscus , ''Carus'', II). He wrote poems on the arts of fishing (''Halieutica''), aquatics (''Nautica'') and hunting (''Cynegetica''), but only a fragment of the last, 325 Hexameter lines, has been preserved. It is neatly expressed in good Latin , and was used as a school text-book in the 9th Century . Four Eclogue s, formerly attributed to Titus Calpurnius Siculus , are now generally considered to be by Nemesianus, and the ''Praise of Hercules'', generally printed in Claudian 's works, may be by him. Complete edition of the works attributed to him in (with Ovid 's ''Halleutica'' and ''Grattius Faliscus'') 1838, and R. Stern , with ''Grattius'' (1832); Italian translation with notes by L. F. Valdrighi (1876). The four eclogues are printed with those of Calpurnius in the editions of H. Schenkl (1885) and Charles Haines Keene (1887); see L. Cisorio , ''Studio sulle Egloghe di N.'' (1895) and ''Dell' imstaziore nelle Egloghe di N.'' (1896); and M. Haupt, ''De Carminibus Bucolicis Calpurnii et N.'' (1853), the chief treatise on the subject. |
