The beginning of Latin literature dates to 240 BC, when the first stage play was performed in Rome.
Latin literature would flourish for the next six centuries.
The classical era of Latin literature can be roughly divided into the following periods:
Early Latin literature,
The Golden Age,
The Imperial Period
and Late Antiquity
.
(‘latin’ was the language of the ancient Romans, but it was also the lingua franca of Western Europe throughout the Middle Ages, so Latin literature includes not only Roman authors like Cicero, Vergil, Ovid and Horace, but also includes European writers after the fall of the Empire, from religious writers like Aquinas (1225–1274),
to secular writers like
Francis Bacon
(1561–1626),
Baruch Spinoza
(1632–1677),
Isaac Newton
(1642–1727)
