Luxorius

(also written Luxurius, and Lusorius). A Roman epigrammatic poet, who lived in Africa about the beginning of the sixth century A.D., during the Vandal domination. He sought to imitate Martial. We still possess eighty-eight of his epigrams, mostly in elegiac metre, which are often coarse and always dull. He also wrote a Vergilian cento, and versus serpentini. See the Poetae Latini Minores of Bährens, iv. 267, 331, and 386 foll.; and the monograph by Klapp, De Anthologiae Lat. Carminibus Nonnullis (Wandsbeck, 1874).
