Oppian

Oppian (Ancient Greek: Ὀππιανός, Oppianós; Latin: Oppianus), also known as Oppian of Anazarbus, of Corycus, or of Cilicia, was a 2nd-century Greco-Roman poet during the reign of the emperors Marcus Aurelius and Commodus, who composed the Halieutica, a five-book didactic epic on fishing.

Not to be confused with the later poet Pseudo-Oppian, who wrote didactic poetry on hunting. For the hill Rome, see Oppian Hill.
