Description
"This new collection of essays takes as its theme the reception of Rome's greatest poet in a time of profound cultural change. Amid the rise of Christianity, the changing status of the city of Rome, and the emergence of new governing classes, Vergil is seen to have remained a bedrock of Roman education and identity. Romane Memento considers the different ways in which Vergil was read, understood and appropriated - by poets, commentators, Church fathers, orators and historians." "Romane memento will be of interest to literary critics and cultural historians of late Antiquity, and also to Vergilianists unfamiliar with the literature of the fourth century."--BOOK JACKET.
