The Aenied
$20.00
Virgil’s Aeneid (composed c. 29–19 B.C.) crowns the Augustan age with an epic of destiny and duty. Written near the end of the poet’s life (70–19 B.C.), it transforms Rome’s mythical origins into a meditation on empire, sacrifice, and divine purpose. In Aeneas—pious, burdened, and resolute—Virgil unites Homeric heroism with Roman virtue, creating the archetype of civic devotion and the enduring poetic voice of Rome’s moral and imperial ideal.
