This new collection of essays, commissioned from a range of
scholars across the world, 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 remained a
bedrock of Roman education and identity. This volume considers the
different ways in which Vergil was read, understood and
appropriated; by poets, commentators, Church fathers, orators and
historians. The introduction outlines the cultural and historical
contexts. Twelve chapters dedicated to individual writers or
genres, and the contributors make use of a wide range of approaches
from contemporary reception theory. An epilogue concludes the
volume. "Romane Memento" will be of interest to literary critics
and cultural historians of Late Antiquity, but also to
Vergilianists unfamiliar with the literature of the fourth century.
