To this age also belong the collection of epigrams on Priapus called Priapea, and including many poems attributed to Virgil, Tibullus, and Ovid. They are mostly of an obscene character, but some few, especially those by Tibullus and Catullus which close the series, are simple and pretty.
Pliny, Letters, ii, 20. Digest, xiv, 1 and 3 and 8 on the actio exercitoria and institoria. Cf. Codex, iv, 25, 4: et si a muliere magister navis praepositus fuerit, etc. CIL, xiv, 326. Martial, xi, 71. Apuleius, Metam., v, 10. Soranus, i, 1, ch. 1 and 2. E.g. Suetonius, Nero, 27. Carmina Priapea, 18 and 27. Ulpian, xiii, 1.
There are also three brief Priapea which should probably be assigned to this period.
