Memory was a powerful concept in Augustan Rome, pervading art, literature, religion, and social and political life. Considering crucial scenes in the Aeneid, this distinctive new reading finds memory to be a dynamic process, one that offers a mechanism for integrating a traumatic past with an uncertain future.
