This book sheds new light on Virgil's Aeneid via a detailed study of Ascanius, Aeneas' young son and ancestor of the emperor Augustus. In a work that will appeal to students of literature, history and childhood studies, Rogerson shows how the characterisation of Ascanius reflects contemporary concerns about Rome's future.
