Chapter 52: Pax et princeps

Gerundives of obligation (passive periphrastic)

Ara Pacis: Aeneas sacrificing. The images of peace and prosperity on the Ara Pacis emphasize Augustus' achievement; the image of Aeneas, calling to everyone's mind the Aeneid and his claim to be descended from Aeneas and thus from the goddess Venus, emphasize Augustus' status as princeps. 13-9 BCE, Rome.
