Quintus Ennius (239-169 BC) taught Latin and Greek in Rome. His most important work are the Annales ("Chronicles") of Rome, of which only fragments have been preserved.
| Ostia munita est; idem loca navibus pulchris munda facit, nautisque mari quaesentibus vitam. | Ostia is fortified; and the same king [Ancus Marcius] creates an attractive harbour for the beautiful ships, and for the sailors who make a living from the sea. |
