The Romans saw an analogy between the ordered workings of the natural universe and the proper functioning of their own expanding empire, between orbis and urbs. Philip Hardie's new work explores Virgil's poetic and mythic transformation of this imperialist ideology with reference to such traditions as the poet/cosmologer, the use of allegory to extract natural-philosophical truths from mythology and poetry, poetic hyperbole, and the "universal expression."

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Adds immensely to our understanding of the Aeneid, the poetic genius of Vergil, Roman history, and the Roman mind. Well documented, heavily annotated, and firmly philologically grounded, it is one of those books that all serious students of Vergil sooner or later must confront."--Classical Bulletin
