The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?About this person
It is uncertain which Istrian war was the subject of this poem, but scholars generally consider the second war is more likely, as the first (178-7) had already been treated by Ennius in his Annales. Only seven fragments of Hostius' poem survive, but it was probably in the panegyric style which was common in the Hellenistic period.
