The Aeneid of Virgil

The book is in fair condition with notable wear. The cover shows creasing and small tears, especially at the top edge. The spine is intact but has visible creasing, and the pages are slightly yellowed, consistent with age. There is no dust jacket, as this is a paperback edition.
