This volume includes various poems, with a focus on political themes such as consulship, virtue, and the valor of prominent Roman figures like Stilicho.

At the start of this volume, Claudian reflects on the achievements and virtues of Stilicho, highlighting his role as a guardian of the empire and a bringer of peace. The text portrays a dialogue between various Roman entities, including the city of Rome and its institutions, which beseech Stilicho to accept the consulship. The language celebrates his military successes and emphasizes the importance of virtues such as love, justice, and mercy in governance. Claudian paints a vivid picture of a society eager for stability and leadership as it maneuvered through the turbulent waters of its time.
