Rezensionen

"Mountford the gives us a look at Maecenas as patron of the arts, and particularly at the man's influence on the work of Virgil, Horace, and Propertius, activities not necessarily divorced from his role as advisor to Augustus. He is particularly valuable when discussing the literary roots of Virgil's Aenead, which played a major role in promoting the new regime. While primarily of value to those with an interest in the literature of the Augustan era, serious students of Roman society and politics during the chaotic period of the civil wars and the creation of the Principate will find much of interest here as well." - The NYMAS Review, Autumn-Winter 2019
