Wikipedia description:

Richard Oliver Allen Marcus Lyne (21 December 1944 – 17 March 2005), also known as R. O. A. M. Lyne, was a British academic and classicist specialising in Latin poetry. He was a tutor in classics at Balliol College and Professor of Classical Languages and Literature at the University of Oxford. His 1987 book Further Voices in Virgil's "Aeneid" was an important text in the Harvard School of analysis of the Aeneid, which saw the poem as containing implicit messages casting doubt upon the imperialistic ideology of the Roman emperor Augustus.
