Ten Letters To A Grandson is P.E. Daunt's unique discovery of correspondence apparently written in 324 AD. Its author is Lucius Rutilius Rufus, a Roman governor, recently retired to Priene, now in Turkey. His grandson (also Lucius) has travelled to Athens to study for a year, living with his grandfather's friend Hermogenes. The older Lucius writes regularly to his young namesake, exploring the classical and philosophical topics that his grandson is studying, but the letters also include information about the extended family's activities, and descriptions of landscape and flora. Equally, these Letters explore and respond to Christianity's impact upon their creator: globally, and personally. The grandfather's Christian journey is touched by danger and tragedy, reflecting the religious uncertainty of that time. An eleventh letter, from Hermogenes to his Roman friend in Priene, concludes the main text, which is accompanied by P.E. Daunt's original introduction. His son Will adds an editor's note.
