Antiquitatum Libri

A work of Varro (q.v.), properly styled Antiquitates Rerum Humanarum et Divinarum, in forty-one books—a great monument of Roman learning and a mine for all succeeding writers, being quoted by Pliny , Gellius, and Priscian, and, above all, by St. Augustine in the fifth and seventh books of his treatise De Civitate Dei. Of the forty-one books, twenty-five related to profane, and sixteen to sacred, antiquities. See Cruttwell, Roman Literature, p. 147 (1886).
