Atilius FortunatianusAtilius Fortunatianus, Latin grammarian, lived in the 4th century AD. Fortunatianus was the author of a treatise on metres, dedicated to one of his pupils, a youth of senatorial rank, who desired to be instructed in the Horatian metres. The manual opens with a discussion of the fundamental ideas of metre and the chief rules of prosody, and ends with a detailed analysis of the metres of Horace. The chief authorities used are Caesius Bassus and the Latin adaptation by Juba the grammarian of the T~xvq of Heliodorus. Fortunatianus being a common name in the African provinces, it is probable that the author was a countryman of Juba, Terentianus Maurus and Victorinus. Editions of the Ars in H Keil, Grammatici Latini, vi., and separately by him (1885).
