Recenzii

Interdisciplinary approaches to the classical world have long been lauded as a means of fully comprehending a particular time and place. Rea s book, an easy read for classicists in all disciplines, integrates both literary and archaeological evidence to form a balanced base from which to analyze the works of Augustus and his contemporaries in a manner not dissimilar to the emperor s own approach to recreating cultural identity, a parallelism welcome both as a reflection of the ancient world and modern scholarship. Rea avoids discussing the manipulation of archaic Rome in the era of Augustus in terms of propaganda, which distinguishes her from many contemporary approaches to Augustan Rome. By maintaining a narrow focus on three poets and two hills, Rea provides the reader with a digestible and synthetic approach to the use of archaic Rome in Augustan propaganda. Furthermore, by combining literary and material cultural evidence, Rea creates a more complete picture of the Rome intentionally crafted by Augustus and taken up by the poets.
