The epithet formosus, almost absent from Latin poetry before Virgil, is frequently employed in the Bucolics. This paper analyses some occurrences and some verse patterns in which it appears and compares Virgil’s use with instances in Propertius to suggest that formosus was a word associated with Gallus and hence used by Virgil in the context of a literary dialogue with him.

In the article I address such issues as the place of the plague’s outbreak and its chronology. Next, I indicate the existence of three epidemic phases, as the fact needs to be emphasised more in the literature. In the following parts, I point out the rhetorical nature of the descriptions, which makes it impossible to identify the pathogen and thus to determine its mortality rate. I further focus on climate, archaeology, and papyri, showing that the data taken from these sources do not allow us to overestimate the impact of the plague. I also present the population’s reaction in the face of pestilence and its effects on the so-called third-century crisis. I conclude the arguments with a source appendix.

W artykule poruszam takie zagadnienia jak miejsce wybuchu zarazy, jej chronologia. Wskazuję na istnienie trzech faz epidemii, dotychczas niewystarczająco podkreślane w literaturze. W dalszej części wskazuję na retoryczność opisów, co uniemożliwia wskazanie patogenu, a zatem nie można określić jej śmiertelności. Dalej skupiam się na klimacie, archeologii i papirusach, pokazując, że dane zaczerpnięte z tych źródeł nie pozwalają na przecenianie skutków zarazy. Ukazuję również reakcję ludności w obliczu zarazy, a także jej wpływ na tzw. kryzys III w.
